Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a broad moulding at the top rim, and an irregular ribbed pattern topped with mostly pentagonal shapes, very irregular as well; curiously for a work of this crudeness of both medium [coarse granite] and local craftmanship, there are tiny floral motifs, including a triquetra, in the spandrels formed between the upper rim moulding and the geometric shapes on the sides; raised on a short octagonal pedestal base of two blocks, the upper one plain and probably part of the basin block, the lower one adorned with ball motifs on every other side, and the lower end square. There is a single metal staple from an old cover in the upper rim of the basin. The inner well of the basin is now divided into two by a vertical partition; this partition must have been a relatively modern addition, as they begin to occur -except very rare exceptions- in France in the 16th century.
