The baptismal font, of unknown author, is carved stone and date from about the beginning of the sixteenth century.

This liturgical object is only found in churches that have the baptismal function, ie those that can give baptism.

The fonts must always be covered to protect the water used to baptize.

The tank has seven sides (this figure has a symbolic value in the Christian religion).

Les fonts baptismaux, d'auteur inconnu, sont en pierre sculptée et datent environ du début du XVIe siècle.

Cet objet liturgique ne se trouve que dans les églises qui ont la fonction baptismale, c'est à dire celles qui peuvent donner le baptême.

Les fonts doivent toujours être couverts afin de protéger l'eau qui sert à baptiser.

La cuve a sept côtés (ce chiffre a une valeur symbolique dans la religion chrétienne).

Approximate Age of Artefact: about 16th century
