Font Notes:
Listed as a Romanesque holy-water stoup in Palissy [ref.: PM24001173]: "Bénitier roman [...] Forme d'ensemble cylindrique. Personnages sculptés reliés par une cordelière et par deux boudins toriques. Un des personnages semble piler au mortier [...] H = 40 ; d = 38 [...] 12e siècle". Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP24W02688, AP24W02689]. There is a large male head on one side, a standing figure tied by the rope mouldings to the side of the basin and another human figure standing and using a large mortar and pestle on the side. A communication to BSI from Pol Hwerman (e-mail of 6 April 2024) forwards information and photographs f the object from Geert Verbrugghe, Responsable d'opération & étude de mortiers en pierre, Inrap Grand-Est - Centre archéologique Châlons-en-Champagne: "This mortar (or was it a grain measure) was found in the ruins of the old church (tiré des décombres de l’église), and was re-used as stoup." The rather odd-looking object serving as holy-water stoup in this church appears to have been the object of a poem 'L’antique bénitier de Saint-Louis-en-l’Isle' by Robert de Montesquieu, in his 'Les Perles rouges : 93 sonnets historiques' (Bibliothèque-Charpentier, 1899: 76-77) [https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/L'antique_bénitier_de_Saint-Louis-en-l’Isle] [accessed 12 May 2024]; the poem does not reveal its origine/provenance.
