Baldaquin des fonts baptismaux, Stone baptismal baldachin in Bodilis, France.
The hexagonal stone baldachin stands over the baptismal font inside Notre-Dame church, supported by six decorated columns with religious sculptures.
The atelier of sculptor Roland Doré crafted this baptismal structure during the 17th century, incorporating existing elements from the 16th century.
The polychrome sculptures on the baldachin depict biblical figures, including evangelists Matthew and Mark, along with representations of God and saints.
The central basin measures 92 centimeters in height, 90 centimeters in width, and contains a secondary smaller basin connected by a lead pipe.
Four cherub heads, originally designed as water spouts, remain visible on the main basin though their function ceased after conversion to baptismal fonts.
