Baptismal font consisting of a moulded octagonal basin raised on a plain octagonal stem [a modern replacement] and a much damaged octagonal-to-square lower base decorated with tracery and animal heads; the upper surface of the basin shows the remains of the anchors/staples for the old cover. The label in the Musées royaux d'art et d'histoire de Bruxelles / Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis - Brussel (Inv. 4458) identifies it as made of limestone and dates it to the second half of the 15th century.
