A baptismal font inside this church is illustrated in Bourgogne Romane [http://www.bourgogneromane.com/edifices/alise/ALISEkapel.jpg] accessed 29 January 2023]; it appears to consist of a large octagonal basin standing on a short pedestal base and a modern square lower base; the basin has shields on some of the sides, below a broad flat rim moulding. No cover present. [cf. BSI entry for Alise-Sainte-Reine No. 2 for an interesting object used as holy-water stoup]
