Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de la Mayenne (2002, v. 2: 506): baptismal font of the 16th century; this is a double-basin font, of two clearly defined octagonal basins, although they are made of a single block of granite; the bases are independent, two columns of several volumes the upper and lower also octagonal, but the short stem in between is cylindrical. At least two of the sides of the basin appear to be ornamented with Latin crosses. A considerable longitudinal crack is visible, now repaired with cement (?). Both basins have plain flat wooden covers. [Flohic ref. no. 53150504]
