Baptismal font of the Namur type in the blue-ish limestone characteristic of the area; it consists of a round tapering basin with protruding human heads at 90-degree angles; on the sides, between the heads, are animal scenes (an avian with acanthus tongue; two lions (?) face each other; etc.); below each of the four heads on the basin side is a large leaf, marking the place of the capital for the columns below; the base consists of a broad central shaft with four colonnettes attached at 90-degree angles; on a short square lower base; this whole base is modern, of 1994, probably of the style of the original one now lost or destroyed. There is a modern bronze cover on the font; is shaped following the contours of the upper basin rim; bronze sculpture finial of the Baptism of Christ.
