Baptismal font probably from the date of the reconstruction of the western tower in this collegiate church, in the late 16th century; it consists of an octagonal basin decorated with mouldings and human heads [one missing] and covered with a round metal [copper?] hemispherical dome lid; it is raised on an octagonal pedestal base and an octagonal-to-square lower base. [cf. Index entry for Celles-les-Dinant for a second font (?) listed in this church].
