The present baptismal font consists of a basin that is square inside and out, raised on a pedestal base of the same shape; it is set in an alcove or niche seprated from the nave by a metal railing; there is a wooden backdrop and canopy painted with a Baptism of Christ in the Jordan painting. This location of the font happens in a few of the local churches around Oloron. Note and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/fonts-baptismaux-de-l-eglise-saint-jean-baptiste-10889] [accessed 22 December 2013]: "L’église Saint-Jean-Baptiste d’Arcangues est dotée de fonts baptismaux particulièrement travaillés et décorés. [...] la cuve et le socle des fonts baptismaux de l’église d’Arcangues sont carrés [...] Taillés dans le bois, ils sont en outre surplombés par des panneaux de bois sculptés et ornés de motifs. Au centre de cet ensemble se trouve une représentation peinte de saint Jean-Baptiste, patron de la paroisse, en train de baptiser Jésus, tel que la scène est décrite dans l’Évangile selon Matthieu. Les fonts baptismaux de l’église Saint-Jean-Baptiste sont désormais protégés par un portillon grillagé."
