Catalogued and illustrated in Ghislain (2009) as the surviving lower base of a baptismal font of the Namurois group, filiation Beauvechain, made of limestone (calcaire de Meuse) ca. 1150-1155; a Latin inscription with the date 1760 was added to it and the stone was wall-mounted above the west portal of the church. Ghislain (ibid.) remarks on the similarity of its shape and decoration to that of Lustin, and the fonts of the Beauvechain affiliation. [cf. Index entry for Outgaarden No. 2 for the 16th-century (?) present font in use in this church].
