One of two 12th-century sandstone listed in this church. This one is listed in Palissy [ref.: IM67005359] as a badly damaged monolithic baptismal font of the 12th century made of sandstone and decorated with arches and rosettes; it is missing its bottom part and is said to be originally from nearby Wasselonne [NB: this source does not indicate where the old font is kept -- the original church at Wasselone was replaced by two new churches ca. 1750, one Catholic and one Protestant].
