L’ensemble est composé de deux cuves. L’une est destinée à contenir l’eau bénite et l’autre, percée d’un trou, sert à évacuer l’eau utilisée au cours des baptêmes. Une croix tréflée orne l’ensemble. De grandes feuilles d’Acanthe, caractéristiques des chapiteaux de l’ordre corinthien, ornent la cuve principale."
