view of church exterior - west portal - tympanum

Scene Description: Eglises de Corrèze [http://eglises.de.correze.online.fr/] [accessed 10 March 2017] notes: "Dans un pitoyable état au début du XXe siècle, il fut restauré, en 1925-1926, par l’architecte Albert Mayeux. Le tympan fut démonté, les arcs trilobés remplacés et le trumeau restitué avec, dans sa partie supérieure, le chapiteau utilisé comme bénitier dans l’église [...] Le style « adouci » de ces sculptures, abandonnant le hiératisme roman pour la souplesse des formes gothiques, permet de les dater vers 1160-1170."

The baptismal font here is a baseless round tub, plain but for a small moulding around the upper rim; this area has some damage probably caused by metal staples of an old cover; no cover present now. Michel Vincendeau [www.mesvoyagesenfrance.com/D19/Saint-Chamant.html] [accessed 10 March 2017] illustrates the font and three stone stoups in this church; of the three stoups two appear to be re-cycled objects (the one by the south doorway could be a medieval grain measure); the third stoup has an octagonal basin raised on a pedestal.
