Noted in Van de Casteele (1877). Cloquet (1895: 318) includes the font at Flostoy among the round fonts of the Mosan type ornamented with four heads at 90-degree angles on the basin. Enlart (1902) describes the base as having "cinq supports" but is confusing about the actual shape, Mosan in one reference, Tournai in another. Bond (1908) calls it Tournai, after Enlart and therefore not a trustworthy description. Catalogued and illustrated in Ghislain (2009) as a baptismal font of the Namurois group, filiation de Saint-Séverin-en-Condroz, made of limestone (calcaire de Meuse) ca. 1155-1160, with decoration that can be related to that on the fonts at Gerpinnes, Goesnes, Ohey, Bléhen, Saint-Séverin-en-Condroz, Wellin, etc. Listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10012745] [accessed 20 April 2023] as a baptsmal font made of stone between 113 and 1150; the brass cover is dated to possibly the 17th century.
