Baptismal font of the 12th century in pink marble listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM66000201] moved to the church at Villefranche-de-Conflent [NB: this may be a reference to the font listed in this Index as Villefranche-de-Conflent, as the corresponding (?) photograph in Mémoire [ref.: AP66W01886] appears to illustrate not the font but a cloister fountain at the abbey]. Inside the abbey church there is now [20 June 2001] a stoup that appears to be a composite object, a polygonal basin on a slender column.
