Baptismal font consistsing of a polygonal [octagonal?] basin with shallow sides but a very tall underbowl chamfer; there is cartouche on the front side -the back is against the wall- with the date 1548 in it; raised on an ill-matched square baluster-shaped pedestal; the two were probably not meant to be an item originally. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM26000001]: "fonts baptismaux [...] église de Saint-Martin-du-Rozier [...] Date : 1548."
