Illustrated in the entry for this church in eglisesduconfluent.fr [http://eglisesduconfluent.fr/Pages/77-Champagne-ND.php] [accessed 18 September 2023] as a baptismal font consisting of an oval-shaped basin decorated with a simple moulding at the upper rim and a wide scotia-like indentation below; the underbowl is rounded and plain; raised on a slender quadrangular pedestal base with fluted pattern on the sides, and a small quadrangular pyramidal lower base. No cover present. The font may date to the 17th-century re-building of this medieval church. [cf. BSI entry for Champagne-sur-Seine No. 2 for a holy-water stoup in this church]
