Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM32000371] as a stone font of the 17th century. The font is cup-like, a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with mouldings, scallops and foliage on the sides, and a gadrooned underbowl, raised on a very short moulded stem and a square lower base with a cherub head on it. A design of a type when fonts and garden ornaments are difficult to tell appart.
