Baptismal font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62008249] [https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/palissy/PM62008249] [accessed 20 August 2022]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Grès : taillé [...] 1628 [...] H = 115 ; la = 57 (cuve)". Octagonal basin with tall underbowl chamfer, raised on a round pedestal base with a round-to-square lower base of several volumes, probably modified as the font has a height of 115 cm [cf. supra]. No cover present but the upper rim of the basin shows evidence of possible anchoring spots.
