Mur-de-Barrez

Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L062525] but it does not have an individual Palissy listing itself; the present font is obviously a composite, the lower half being a modern replacement; the upper volume comprises a roughly cylindrical basin and the underbowl chamfer; the basin, which is very eroded, shows traces of an arcade of round arches or windows on the lower half, just traces of some of the arches, the rest eroded; the upper half of the basin may have had similar decoration but it is too damaged now; the row of holes [at least four- drilled on the side of the basin may have been done for draining purposes if the basin had been used for a period as a planter, before it was restored to its proper liturgical use inside the church. No cover present. Also illustrated in Mémoire are a pair of stone holy-water stoups [ref.: AP80L062526 and AP80L062527], wall-mounted in the church interior, by the entranceway; they are decorated with blank shields, mouldings and a human head, and probably dated to the 17th-century re-building of the medieval church ot later.
