Liege No. 3 / Leodicum / Liège / Luik

Catalogued and illustrated in Ghislain (2009) as the fragment of a baptismal font of the Namurois group, filiation de Saint-Séverin-en-Condroz, made of limestone (calcaire de Meuse) ca. 1165-1170; the fragment constitutes part of a basin of round shape with heads at 90-degree angles, of which two have survived, though not entirely; between the heads are a number of irregular round arch-heads; the font was originally mounted on a five-column support base. Ghislain (ibid.) reports that the piece was originally found in the Tongres region, and acquired by Jacques Baijot, later donated to the Trésor de la cathédrale de Liège in 2000; detail similarities with fonts at Bastogne, Neerlanden, Opprebais and Wauthier-Braine are suggested.
