Catalogued in Palissy [www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/dapapal_fr?] [accessed 3 August 2012] [ref.: PM60001101]: baptismal font made of limestone and dated to the 14th century; it consists of an oval basin decorated with a band of floral motifs around the upper rim moulding, and two human heads, each at the centre of the opposite long sides, one of them holding a ring in its teeth; reported in a poor state of conservation, with damage and moss infestation; it lacks the original base, and is mounted instead on a plain block of stone [="Cuve de fonts baptismaux [...] pierre calcaire [...] en forme de navette datant du 14e siècle. Elle repose actuellement sur une pierre brute servant de pied [...] L'ornementation se compose de deux types de frises à motifs floraux et de deux têtes humaines dont l'une tient un anneau entre ses dents. [...] 14e siècle [...] mauvais état [...] Il manque le pied des fonts baptismaux. Des fentes, éclatements de la pierre et du salpêtre altèrent l'oeuvre."
