Former 12th-century capital from the old church here fashioned out as holy-water stoup. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM87000753]: "Chapiteau à palmettes de style roman probablement du 12e siècle, date de la plus ancienne phase construction de l'édifice, transformé en bénitier. [...] Une petite cuvette rectangulaire a été creusée sur le dessus du chapiteau, qui semble solidaire du haut de sa colonne et a été scellé sur un socle rectangulaire. [...] Entrelacs de tiges et de feuilles en forme de palmettes, mais la sculpture très fruste est a peine esquissée."
