Click to view
A large stoup of limestone (?) consisting of a cylindrical basin decorated with very broad ribs all around, raised on a short roughly cylindrical base decorated with diagonal flat ribbed pattern all around; through cracks on at least two sides of the basin, repaired with metal staples. Its design appears to be related to the baptismal font of roughly the same period in this church [cf. Index entry for Saint-Junien No. 1]
