The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of St-Jean-Baptiste in Montépilloy , a French parish in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the 14th century. In 1912, the Gothic baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 55 cm high baptismal font made of limestone stands on a rectangular base from more recent times. The oval basin is adorned by a frieze with plant motifs and two human heads, one of which holds a ring in its mouth.
