Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60001415]: "Fonts baptismaux en pierre taillée composée d'une cuve quadrilobée montée sur un support en forme de pyramide inversée et cantonnée de quatre colonnettes dans les angles. [...] ornement à forme géométrique (frise : croix) [...] Le rebord de la cuve est décoré d'une série de croix inscrites dans des rectangles et sculptées en creux. [...] 11e siècle". Noted in 'Cuves baptismales et fonts baptismaux : évolution formelle avant le XVIe siècle' [www.culture.gouv.fr/documentation/memoire/CATALOGUES/fontsbapt/fontsbapt_histav16e/html/fontsbapt_histav16e.html] [accessed 28 February 2016]. Baptismal font of the 'suspended basin' design, the hemispherical basin appearing to be suspended from four angle columns; the upper basin side has a row dog-tooth motifs [not crosses] inscribed in squares; the angle columns are square but have large rounded capitals; the base, roughly an upside-down hemisphere is plain. Damage at opposite ends of the upper rim suggest the former presence of font cover anchorings there. The present metal insert in the inner basin is modern.
