The baptismal font in the church of St-Pierre-aux-Liens in Pujols-sur-Ciron , a French commune in the Gironde department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region , was created in the 15th or 16th century. In 2000, the Gothic baptismal font was added to the list of listed buildings ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 92 cm high limestone baptismal font was created from a block of stone. The upper edge of the pool forms an irregular octagon. The baptismal font is decorated all around with reliefs in the form of tendrils.
