Noted and illustrated in KIK-IRPA, Brussels (Belgium): the baptismal font of this church is a composite object consisting of a square basin decorated with Christ's monogram (IHS) raised on a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes at the angles; the whole is raised on a square lower base the upper part of which has mouldings around the bases of the five supports, plus a leaf at each of the four angles [some are missing], in the manner of the Namurois fonts. The source [cf. supra] identifies the lower base and the central shaft as 12th-century; the rest is the work of Laurent David, in 1925. The metal cover, of the same date, bears an inscription: "don de H.P.F.D. et A.Grisard 10 février 1925", identifying the donors.
