Described and illustrated in Miquel (1997: 36, 54 and fig. 28, 29): cylindrical baptismal font of the 13th century made of lead; the basin consists of eight lead panels, each depicting a hunting scene in which an archer shoots a passant lion through the neck with an arrow in view of a dragon or chimera, all surrounded in foliage. This scene is identical to the one represented on the upper register of the lead font at Lombez [cf. Index entry for Lombez No. 1], obviously the work of the same workshop using the same mould or template. Miquel (ibid.) points out that this scene is also represented and used on the basin at Saiguède. The font is now displayed on a new stone base, and is covered with a dome lid decorated with foliage motif. This font is made of several plates of set design repeated around the basin with soldering showing at the edges; it is apparent that some of the plates on this font were made using the same moulds used at Lombez, Pébées, Pycasquier, Sabonnères, Saiguède and others.
