Lübke (1870) notes a metal font of the 14th century ornamented with blind arcades and figues, and "supported by three figures of men". Enlart (1902) states that this font belongs to the same type as those at Hildesheim and St-Barthelemy de Liege, but it is not clear whether he is referring to the general shape of the font and quality of the work or, simply, to the fact that they are all basins resting on figures (Hildesheim) or animals (St-Barthelemy). The basin is bucket-shaped, the usual in bronze fonts of the period made by bell makers, the surface lightly incised withan inscription around the upper third, and an arcade of round arches that occupies the other two thirds; the arcade has floral motifs in the spandrels, and had figures inside the arches but these figures have been practically erased; the three tsanding figures that hold up the basin are male, bearded, the hair in a short mane; they wear short tunics; the right hand is raised to the chest, while the left hand is lowered to the genitals, the fingers extended. The font does not have a cover proper, but a baptismal basin of the sort common in northern churches, large and flat, with a smaller depression in the centre to hold the water. The upper rim of the font basin, however, has one large anchoring spot for a lid.
