Baptismal font of the early-13th century listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM60001616]: "Les fonts baptismaux [calcaire] s'élèvent sur une base de plan approximativement carré. Au centre, le support circulaire central porte la cuve tronconique. Dans chacun des angles de la base, quatre colonnettes couronnées de chapiteaux à feuillages viennent épauler la cuve [...] Les chapiteaux sont sculptés de feuilles polylobées sur leur faces et de feuilles d'eau pointues dans leurs angles. Tous les supports sont bagués [...] mauvais état ; repeint [...] Polychromie ancienne sous jacente. Cuve fendue en partie supérieure [...] Fonts baptismaux datés de la première moitié du 13e siècle." The entry for this church in Eglises de l'Oise [www.eglisesdeloise.com/monument/tracy-le-mont-eglise-saint-brice/] [accessed 2 July 2017] notes: "un bénitier du 16ème siècle, des panneaux sculptés du 17ème siècle représentant des évêques et, surtout, une cuve baptismale de la fin du 12ème siècle en excellent état de conservation. La cuve proprement dite repose sur un fût central et, correspondant aux angles, quatre colonnettes avec chapiteaux à feuilles plates. Toutes comportent une petite bague sculptée (2009)." The sides of the basin are moulded below the upper rim; the capitals of the four outer colonnettes are decorated with large leaves, with a roll moulding below; the four outer colonnettes have roll mouldings in the middle and bottom as well; the broad central shaft is detached and also decorated with roll mouldings; roll mouldings form the bases of all five supports; the lower base is square and plain, and there is plinth, also square, and probably modern, below. The wooden cover is square, flat and plain, modern, with openings for both wells of the later partition of the basin interior.
The partition of the inner well noted in Palissy above ["Cuve fendue en partie supérieure"] must be a later alteration; the modern font cover, square, flat and plain, opens at the two wells.
