Large round basin originally from the old Saint Pierre, later moved to the new église du Sacré-Cœur (1903); not known whether the basin has been re-carved or re-tooled; the base on which it is mounted is round-to-square, with a rope moulding at the upper end, and [animal?] heads at 90-degree angles of the chamferred middle section; if both parts are matched, it could be modern.
