Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de la Mayenne (2002, v. 2: 696): holy-water stoup dated to 1605 by an inscription that records also the name of Jehan Pannard, probably the donnor. The wall-mounted stoup is in the shape of a "verre de lampe" with a thick roll moulding at the upper rim; below it is a plain moilding with a crenellated motif under it; between the latter and a pronounced ribbed pattern that decorates the belly of the basin is an incision with the name Jehan Pannard; the basin ends in a ball motif at the bottom. The rest of the inscription [cf. Inscription area] is incised in the back panel of the stoup. [Flohic ref. no. 53190804]
