Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de la Mayenne (2002, v. 1: 207): baptismal font of the 17th century made of black marble; it consists of an oval basin, plain except for a roll moulding at the upper rim; the interior of the basin is divided into four compartments, two round and two rectangular, a common pattern in French fonts of this period; the base is a square pedestal of the baluster type.
