Baptismal font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM59003536]: "Fonts baptismaux en pierre bleue avec couvercle en bois sculpté en bas-relief [...] H = 104 ; d = 120 (cuve) [...] 17e siècle [...] la marque de tailleur que portent la cuve et le fût se retrouve sur les colonnes de l'église Saint-Jacques à Douai [...] Le couvercle a été réalisé vers 1930". Octagonal basin with single moulding below the upper rim; moulded octagonal base. Wooden cover has octagonal base with round dome decorated with a Baptism of Christ scene that has the Holy Dove above and candle-holding angels in the sides [cf. supra]. The font and cover are noted in Patrimoine [https://www.mairie-landas.fr/decouvrir/histoire-et-patrimoine/patrimoine-2/] [accessed 25 December 2022]; the font is mistakenly dated as very ancient, possibly from the Romanesque church; the modern cover made by Henri Legrand, a local phamacist: "La cuve octogonale des fonts baptismaux est en pierre de Tournai. Elle semble de facture très ancienne et provient peut être de l’église romane primitive. Un beau couvercle a été sculpté au début du 20e siècle par Henri Legrand, ancien pharmacien de Landas."
