Monolithic baptismal font of the 12th century made of granite. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM19001063]: "Cuve de profil extérieur circulaire devenant octogonal à la feuillure intérieure (comme si un couvercle la complétait initialement) [...] Décor de godrons sur tout le pourtour, ceint d'un boudin médian, évoquant une gerbe de joncs stylisés. [...] 12e siècle." The font iself is roughly cylindrical, with broad ribs gathered by a thick roll moulding that gives the impression of crushing them in the middle; the upper rim, somewhat indented from the outer circumfrence is actually octagonal and appears to have been carved to accommodate a round cover in it. No font cover present.
