Holy-water stoup noted in Palissy [ref.: IM56002662] as octagonal, with a moulded base and made of granite, dated to the 15th century. It is illustrated in InfoBretagne [www.infobretagne.com/faouet-chapelle-fiacre.htm] [accessed 7 March 2013]. The object consists of an octagonal basin with a chamfered underbowl, raised on an octagonal pedestal base and a moulded lower base of the same shape. The object is made of granite, and the workmanship is rather crude; this stoup is located inside the chapel, against a pillar. There is another holy-water stoup in the west portal entrance; this is a constructional part of the door mullion, a relative common type in some churches; it consists of a small polygonal basin the sides of which are decorated with large leaf motifs between two roll mouldings; the pedestal base is also polygonal, adorned with trefoiled panels; there is a canopy above, also decorated; the whole is made of granite.
