The BALaT databse entry 10117383 [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10117383] [accessed 18 March 2020] shows a photograph of a table-top type font of stone with an unknown provenance, possibly from an old church in Huy, later in the "ancienne collection Pelgrims de Bigard (Groot-Bijgaarden) acquis lors de la vente de la collection et du château en juin 1981". The font is dated 1101-1201 in the source, and consists of a square basin decorated with a blind arcade of 24 round arches supported on columns with capitals and bases; the rounded underbowl is ribbed and supported on a broad shaft with a moulded base; the four corner colonnettes have water-leaf capitals and moulded bases; plain square plinth. No cover present. [NB: the original reference to a baptismal font listed in the former Musée diocesain of Liège with inventory no. 22 was misplaced or lost by us -- it may not have corresponded to this font, but instead to a metal object].
