Described by Michel Claveyrolas [e-mail to BSI]: "Fonts baptismaux. Il s'agit d'une cuve tronconique galbée, de dimensions assez réduites. Elle est ornée sur l'extérieur de godrons alternativement en creux (les plus larges), et en relief (les plus étroits)." The official page of the mairie [www.agris.fr/pages/la-vie-du-village/l-eglise.html] [accessed 15 September 2017] includes some information on the church by Jean Delahaye, including a mention of a stoup and font here: "A l’entrée de l’église, le bénitier et les fonts baptismaux dont la cuve présente un bord décoré de cannelures régulières et quatre motifs en forme d’S."
