Font Notes:
Baptismal font noted and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/eglise-d-arnos] [accessed 27 November 2013]: “D’une grande sobriété, les fonts baptismaux de l’église paroissiale d’Arnos sont d’un style et d’une époque difficilement identifiable. La cuve baptismale en pierre, en forme de demi-sphère creuse, est couverte, comme il est d’usage, d’un couvercle de protection, en l’occurrence en bois. Cette cuve repose sur un piédestal formé d’un court fût de colonne avec base de section carrée. L’ensemble sans aucun élément ornemental est remarquable par sa simplicité et ses proportions amples." The font consists of a plain roughly hemispherical basin raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a moulded square lower base with spurs at the angles; the lower base may be a later addition. The basin side has the anchoring holes for an old font cover, but the present wooden cover, round, flat and plain, is modern.
