The font fragment from Martry is of early medieval origin, likely 9th to 11th century, and exhibits a Romanesque style with octagonal form and ribbed angles. It was probably built by a monastic or ecclesiastical community, and its survival in fragments highlights the historical and artistic significance of early Christian sites in the region.
