Noted in Ghislain (1986) as the fragmentary remains of a Romanesque baptismal font, decorated with a blind arcade of round arches similar to that on the fonts at Grande-Enneille, Les Awirs, Opprebais, Roux-Miroir, Villers-la-Ville, Wauthier-Braine, Wellin and Thynes. Catalogued and illustrated in Ghislain (2009) as the remains of a baptismal font of the Namurois group, filiation de Saint-Séverin-en-Condroz, made of limestone (calcaire de Meuse) ca. 1160-1165, originally from the Ancienne église Saint-Clément, at Finnevaux, found among the ruinsof the tower there; it was damaged and mutilated after its discovery, and eventually moved to the abbe church of St. Peter, at Hastière-par-delà. Ghislain (ibid.) describes the original font as square, with simple arcade decoration on the side, of which only the lower end has survived, showing columns on round moulded bases, and remarks similarities with the fonts at Bastogne, Ciergnon, Jeneffe, Libois, Ossogne and Pry.
