Noted and illustrated in KIK-IRPA, Brussels (Belgium), as a baptismal font of "pierre mosan" dated 1201-1300. Noted in Ghislain (1986) as a Romanesque baptismal font of the Mosan-namurois type; its decoration is similar to that on the fonts at Wauthier-Braine, Opprebais, Grande-Enneille and Villers-la-Ville: heads at 90-degree angles on the round basin, the sides decorated with a blind arcade of round arches. Ghislain (ibid.) notes that the upper rim of this font, measuring only 69 cm, has been neatly restored and does not represent the original measurement. Catalogued and illustrated in Ghislain (2009) as a baptismal font of the Namurois group, filiation de Saint-Séverin-en-Condroz, made of limestone (calcaire de Meuse) ca. 1160; two of the heads are fairly complete, both male, one bearded, one clean-faced; mush of the upper rim has been lost, as well as the outer colonnettes of the base, the central shaft repaired; lower base complete. There is a moulded pudding-shaped metal cover, and there is a metal staple atop the bearded head.
