Saint-Maximin / Maximum

Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60001475]: "Les fonts baptismaux se composent de deux éléments de calcaire monolithe assemblés. Le support, de plan oval, est orné de plusieurs moulures superposées. La cuve de forme ovale à pointes est renflée à sa base et couronnée de moulures toriques. Elle est divisée en deux bassins [...] Ces fonts baptismaux du 16e siècle peuvent être comparés à ceux de l'église de Chambly [...] oeuvre mutilée." Baptismal font of a roughly oval shape overall, with prow-like protrusions at 90-degree angles of the basin sides; the inner well is divided unequally; on a moulded pedestal, also oval but without the pointed parts. There is repaired damage at opposite ends on the long sides, areas where the anchors for the old cover would have been. This font, best described as ungainly, is somewhat similar to the fonts listed in this index at Chambly No. 2 and Saint-Leu-d'Esserent No. 2, also in this area of the Oise department.
