Two baptismal fonts are reported and illustrated in dignois.fr [http://dignois.fr/La-Martre-paroisse/] [accessed 13 February 2024], but one appears to be a holy-water stoup consisting of a small hemispherical basin raised on a plain and round pedestal base; the bottom of the stem and the square lower base are a modern alteration [cf. BSI entry for Martre No. 1 for the baptismal font in this church].
