Cloquet (1890) mentions in a footnote "les curieux fonts historiés de [...] Schoorisse qui sont en pierre blanche." Listed and illustrated in BALaT KIRK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/37652] [accessed 24 August 2017] with date in the 15th century. Noted in the church inventory Parochiekerk Sint-Pieter inventaris bouwkundig erfgoed \ bouwkundig relict [https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/28114] [accessed 24 August 2017] as a sandstone font probably of the 15th century with an octagonal basin covered in carvings, the 20th-century metal font cover by H. Verdonck of Ghent: "Opmerkelijke zandstenen doopvont, waarschijnlijk uit de 15de eeuw, met gebeeldhouwde achtkantige kuip; koperen deksel en ophanging met duif van 1935 door H. Verdonck (Gent)." All the scenes on the eight sides of the font appear to refer to the sacrament of Baptism, one of them perhaps to the blessing of the water and/or the font itself; one other -much damaged now- appears to show a large adult [cleric?] in a pannelled container [box? pulpit?]; one other shows two figures at the font: one, on the left, appears dressed in clerical garb and holds a book; the other, on the right, appears to hold an infant over the font [NB: identification made difficult by the damaged state of the carving], while two other figures stand behind the first two. The dome-shaped metal font-cover has oval medallion ornamentation on the eight panels, and a Greek cross finial; the pulley chain is hooked to a ring at the top of this cross, and uses a dove-shaped counterweight; dated in the BALaT KIRK IRPA [cf. supra] entry to 1935.
