Listed in Elart (1902). Illustrated in Collin (1981). Described in Drake (2002). Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM08000564], and illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP69P00726]. In Drake (2002) as a Mosan font with a round basin on multiple supports. Romanesque baptismal font of the Mosan group of which only the basin is original; it is round with four protruding heads at 90-degrees, much in the style of other Mosan fonts of this period; one of the heads appears to be male, bearded and crowned. Drake (ibid.) describes the ornamentation on the sides as "stylised fleur-de-lis on one side, recessed in the manner of this late group, with Mosan vine and palmette decoration on the other three. The base does not appear to match the basin is is probably a modern replacement.
