Luc de Goustine, of the Association Saint-Pierre du Moustier-Ventadour, writes in his 30 November 2003 description of this church [www.ventadour.net/cariboost_files/EgliseStPierre.pdf] [accessed 26 February 2017]: "deux autres chapiteaux sculptés, XIe-XIIe s., ont été déposés et recreusés en bénitiers, à droite de l’entrée principale et à gauche de la porte sud". The monolithic stoup includes both the capital and part of the column of the original object; the upper area, the 'basin', is square both inside and out, and is decorated with deeply-carved foliage; at the bottom of the 'basin' is a thick roll moulding, with diagonal and vertical piping below, ending in another roll moulding; the lower 'base' is square with wavy mouldings below, showing an unclean break.
