Holy-water stoup noted and illustrated in the Espartignac entry in the Association des Mairies de la Corrèze [www.espartignac.correze.net/adm-tourisme-decouverte_263_5681.html] [accessed 10 February 2017]: "Le bénitier est supporté par une colonne carolingienne." If the above identification is correct the stoup is a composite objecy: the basin is square with chamfered corners, the inner well round; all plain; the pedesta; base [cf. supra] is round at the top and rectangular at the bottom; the basin appears to be partially built into the wall behind. [NB: we have no information on the font of the early church here]
