The village entry in Dignois [http://dignois.fr/Clamensane/] [accessed 6 July 2023] notes and illustrates three vessels for this church, an 1830-18131 re-building of an ancient abbey: 1)a tub-shaped stone vessel now used as fountain in the village: "au bord de la route , au bas du village l'ancienne vasque baptismale transformée en fontaine"; 2) a vessel consisting of a shallow moulded basin on a slender baluster-type pedestal base, and 3) a vessel consisting of a shallow moulded basin on a plain columnar base; vessels #2 and #3 could very well belong to the modern re-building of the old church; vessel #1 could have been originally an ancient baptismal font, as claimed in the source.
