Noted and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/photo.php?path=B082285&objnr=2926&nr=17] [accessed 28 October 2015] as a baptismal font dated 1501-1600. Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with protruding heads on four alternate sides at 90-degree angles; round underbowl with foliated capitals at 90-degree angles; the base is a cluster of a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes, the shaft being plain and the colonnettes decorated with different patterns; lower base square and moulded. The font is made of two blocks of stone: the upper includes the basin, underbowl and capitals for the columns of the base; the lower block starts where the columns of the base do; the stone is not matched, nor is the carving; they could be of two different periods. The metal font cover is dome-shaped with gadrooned pattern all around, and orb-and-cross finial.
