Illustrated in a ca. 1840 drawing by Philippe van Gulpen [https://beeldbank.rhcl.nl/detail.php?nav_id=2-1&id=7431200&index=336] [accessed 27 August 2022]. Illustrated in Schaepkens (1846) and (1847). Included by Cloquet (1895) [after Schaepkens] among the round fonts of the Mosan type with four human heads, at 90-degree angles, on the basin sides. In his earlier article (1890) he mentions it as being, like the fonts at Huy and Gladbach, "ornés de figures démoniaques." Listed with measurements in Ligtenberg (1915), who gives the location of the font as the northwest end of the nave [NB: the font is now (2016) on the south side of the west entranceway]. Noted and illustrated in E.O.M. van Nispen tot Sevenaer, De monumenten in de gemeente Maastricht. Deel 2. (Gijsbers & van Loon, Arnhem 1974: 739) (ongewijzigde herdruk) [reproduced in www.dbnl.org/tekst/nisp034monu03_01/nisp034monu03_01_0008.php [accessed 27 January 2016]]: Font of Namur stone decorated with four heads (restored) at 90-degree angles; the sides between the heads have low-relief carvings: a reclining dragon, two connected palmettes, and owl, another dragon; base consisting of a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes, either partially or wholy replaced. Brass cover with Evangelists medallions, probably modern [NB: the base appears to be a complete replacement; the font cover was made in Liège in 1890, re-using earlier medallions]. In Drake (2002) as a baptismal font of the Mosan group, a round basin on a multisupport base.
