Font Notes:
Click to view
A baptismal font made of coarse granite; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with human figures and animals in high-relief, the four standing figures somewhat akin to the atlantes of the fonts at Dinan, etc.; there is also a human with an equine head or strange headware dressed in a long garment, a strange combination of a reptile with a human head, a quadruped (feline?) above the horns of a merry-looking stag, etc.; there are two fish carved on the bottom of the basin well; the stem is carved into irregular polygonal pillars the bases of which occupy the top of the irregular polygonal lower base; on the sides of this area are multi-petal floral motifs and, below, a band of saw-tooth. All in all is a crude work trying to emulate some of the finer examples of the atlante font design.
