Noted and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM22000751]: "bénitier [...] pierre [...] h = 80 ; d = 60 [...] 15e siècle". In Topic Topos [http://fr.topic-topos.com/benitier-pleboulle] [accessed 13 November 2015]: "Ce bénitier comporte des personnages nus semblant soutenir le bassin. Il est à rapprocher de celui de Saint-Germain-de-la-Mer, à Matignon, mais aussi de celui de Corseul. Le bord du bassin présente de profondes encoches produites par l'affûtage des faucilles. Il est de coutume en Bretagne d'affûter les outils en fer sur les bénitiers des églises afin de s'assurer de bonnes récoltes." [holy-water stoup of the 15th century decorated with naked atlante figures; the upper rim of the basin has deep notches made by the sharpening of farm tools on it, a Breton custom to assure better crops -- using coarse granite to sharpen tools?]. NB: since the present parish church here is 17th-century, it is possible the stoup may have come from one of the several disappeared chapels in or around Pléboulle (Saint-Jean, Calan, la Reignerais, Montbran, etc.), some of which had sacramental rights. The shape of the basin is not well-defined, sort of squaris with rounded abgles, raised on a short circular pedestal base; the upper rim much notched, as indicated above; the squatting figures very crudely rendered.
