One of two fonts found, among others in the museum of Namur, noted and illustrated in Walker (1883); the basin is octagonal at the top rim but the sides are deeply carved with protruding foliage; the volume below is again octagonal and fairly narrow; plain circular stem; the lower base, like the basin, has very large foliage motif between octagonal mouldings. Walker (ibid.) notes simply "of late date".
