Font Notes:
The present baptismal font in this church is noted and partially illustrated in Églises de Corrèze [http://eglises.de.correze.online.fr/eglise-p.php] [accessed 13 January 2017]; it appears to be a monolithic basin of square shape with chamfered corners to make it octagonal, with irregular sides; the oiter panels are decorated with and assortment of patterns, motifs and symbols: saw-tooth below the flat rim, narrow rounded arches on the front panel, an anthropomorphic fleur-de-lis in one of the narrow sides, a pair of arches contaning a Latin cross and an upside-down heart respectedly; the inner basin well is also square, with rounded corners. The basin appears to rest directly on the ground, without a base or plinth. There is no cover present, nor is there any sign of cover-related hardware in the upper rim. The Palissy entry for the listing of church furnishings, "Le mobilier de l'église paroissiale Saint-Pierre" [ref.: IM19001354] does not include a baptismal font.
