Noted and illustrated after Deonna (1927) in "Hermance - Secteur 2 fiche RAC-HER-1056' by the Recensement architectural du canton de Genève (RAC-2018) [https://www.genevepatrimoine.ch/documents/fiches/he_eglise107.pdf] [accessed 22 November 2021]: "sous le clocher-porche, à droite avant d’entrer, un bénitier (fonts baptismaux?) portant les armes des Allinges ou des Savoie, datant du début du XIVe siècle (Deonna 1927)". The stoup(?) consists of an octagonal basin on a round stem and a polygonal lower base, partly built into the porch wall; the basin is moulded all around the visible sides (torus-scotia-torus); on the rounded underbowl is a charged and painted shield [cf. supra], below which is a single roll moulding.
