Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) as a stoup ornamented with small crudely rendered human figures. [NB: there are actually both a font and a holy-water stoup, both apparently medieval [cf. corresponding BSI entries for Sassis Nos. 1 and 2] [NB: we had not been able to trace any further information on the late stoup].
