Baptismal font consisting of a plain round tapering basin raised on a squat circular pedestal base; there is some damage and remains of a metal anchor from on old cover on the upper side of the basin. Wooden conical cover with Latin cross finial; modern. Noted and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/fonts-baptismaux-de-l-eglise-d-urdes] [accessed 30 November 2013]: "Conservés dans l’église paroissiale Saint-Barthélemy d’Urdès, ces fonts baptismaux semblent résulter d’un travail local. La cuve baptismale, en pierre taillée, repose sur un court piétement probablement rapporté. Le couvercle, qui ferme cette cuve, est entièrement réalisé en bois. Il se compose d’une forme tronconique, ajourée de petits trous et surmontée d’une croix latine."
