A report delivered to the 13th general meeting of the 'Provinciaal genootschap van kunsten en Wetenschappen in Noordbrabant' by the then librarian and secretary of the society, Dr. C.R. Hermans, on 6 July 1849, reports the 'in loco' discovery of a 12th- or 13th century baptismal font in the church at Herpen, and refers to another such discovery a few years earlier at the ancient parish church at Auland [source: Handelingen van het Provinciaal genootschap van kunsten en Wetenschappen in Noordbrabant (vol. 5, 35)]. Listed with measurements and a drawing in Ligtenberg (1915). Noted in Tollenaere (1957) as a font decorated with symbols of the Apostles [i.e., Evangelists] on the sides and four female heads. Noted in Drake (2002), who challenges Tollenaere's identification of the heads as female, and mentions the four Evangelists' symbols holding open books. The font consists of a round basin with sides tapering to a rounded unnerbowl, with human heads at 90-degree angles, and the symbols of the four Evangelists on the sides between; beneath each of the four heads is a large leaf with a roll moulding below; these serve as capitals of the four detached colonnettes that, together with the broad central shaft constitute the support for the basin; the square lower base has the moulded bases for the five columns. The whole font has been restored; is the base modern? re-tooled or re-carved?
