Font Notes:
BALaT KIK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10114351] [accessed 2 July 2017] lists a baptismal font of stone in this church, date "1601-1700". The same source [ref.: 10114352] reports a brass font cover of the 19th century here [no photographs available in this source]. The Burdine web site [www.burdinne.be] mentions a 16th-century font in the church at Hannêche. The Bibliotheca Burdinne [https://bibliotheca.burdinne.be/thematiques/patrimoine-religieux-et-funeraire/fonds-baptismaux/fonds-baptismaux] [accessed 2 March 2024] with information from Pol Herman documents the font: "Tailleur de pierre inconnu. Milieu du 16e siècle, probablement après 1550. Pierre taillée. Hauteur : 82 cm. Diamètre : 43,5 cm. Couvercle en laiton du 19e siècle (auteur inconnu). Dans beaucoup de détails, ces fonts baptismaux ressemblent à ceux de Bocholt et surtout à ceux de Seilles : La moulure torsadée, la décoration florale, les quatre têtes, les diamants à plusieurs étages, les masques sur la cuve. Il est très probable que les 3 fonts baptismaux ont été fabriqués dans le même atelier. À cette époque, la réforme protestante et la furie iconoclaste couvaient déjà, et la demande du marché pour des nouveaux fonts baptismaux ne permettait pas de production en série. Aussi parce que quantité de carrières mosanes se disputaient le peu de commandes. Il n’existe donc pas deux exemplaires identiques. Le tailleur de pierre travaille avec des modèles et des images standardisées, qu’il combine en fonction du prix de vente et des souhaits du client. De plus, tous les tâcherons avaient leur spécialité (têtes humaines, moulures, motifs divers, décoration,…) et leur qualité artistique individuelle. Plusieurs ouvriers collaboraient sur le même objet, sous la supervision d’un maître de carrière. Ce qui explique les variations observées dans l’exécution des œuvres." A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 24 October 2023) notes: "The dating by KIK-IRPA is wrong. This font must come from the same workshop that made the fonts of Bocholt and of Seilles. Therefore it is probably mid 16th century."
