Described in Michel Claveyrolas: "Font baptismaux. Bien qu'ils ne soient pas mentionnés dans les ouvrages que nous avons consultés, ces fonts baptismaux présentent assez de ressemblances avec de nombreux autres fonts baptismaux romans charentais pour mériter une place dans cet inventaire. Il s'agit d'une cuve à peu près hémispherique ornée de godrons obtenus par incision. Au-dessus, la margelle, légèrement saillante par rapport aux godrons, est parcourue à l'intérieur par une fine incision." The general shape and the ribbed pattern decoration on the basin suggest a late date in the medieval period, not corresponding to the early-12th century date of the church fabric. No font cover present.
