Described and illustrated in the Patrimoine des communes... l'Essonne (2002, v. 1: 107) as a monolithic oval baptismal font of the 16th century; it presents two volumes, the upper slightly wider than the lower; a small moukling ornaments and delineates the upper rim; the inside of the basin is divided into two wells by a vertical partition right down the middle. There is evidence of damage at the upper rim, at opposite sides, consistent with the removal of cover staples. [Flohic ref.: 91030414]
