Holy-water stoup consisting of a rectangular basin decorated with a quadruped. an encircled Maltese cross, a stylised floral motif and saw-tooth pattern on the sides, raised on a rectancular pedestal base and a lower base of the shape, both plain; aginst the wall, probably attached to it. Noted and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/benitier-de-l-eglise-de-lahourcade] [accessed 1 December 2013]:"bénitier sculpté dans un style très épuré et datant probablement du XIVe siècle. Le bénitier correspond au bassin contenant l’eau bénite. Il est souvent placé à côté de la porte d’entrée de l’église. Celui de Lahourcade, de forme carrée, est réalisé en pierre. Il est large et peu profond et présente de discrets motifs sculptés : il est décoré d’une croix de Malte, d’un quadrupède et d’une fleur stylisée." The stoup at Lahourcade is somewhat similar to the one at the nearby church of Notre-Dame de Cardesse, but the decoration of the former is simpler.
