Fonts baptismaux, dits des rois de France à Médan

About

The baptismal fonts of Saint-Germain church in Médan, a commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region of France, were created in the 14th century. Baptismal fonts in limestone are classified as historical monuments as objects on January 16, 1905. Brought by Henry Perdier in 1491, these baptismal fonts in the shape of a cradle come from Saint-Pol's church in Paris.

The old royal font, carved in a block, has only two simple cartridges and a few cylindrical mouldings. The basin is oval in shape. The inscription, engraved in tiny Gothic, was followed by three badges, on one of which one still sees a shell.
