A covering of the baptismal font made of walnut wood and shaped somewhat like a confessional, with a carving of the Baptism of Christ as backdrop. We have no information on the font itself, which may be covered by the wooden structure [cf. Index entry for Bagneres de Bigorre No. 1, for a very interesting example in the southeast of France]
