Noted with measurements in Ligtenberg (1915), who notes that the base, "een mergelblok" is a replacement, and gives the location as being beneath the tower at the time. Listed in Drake (2002) as one of a group of Mosan fonts on multi-support bases. Baptismal font consisting of a round basin decorated with heads at 90-degree angles; three of the heads are human but the forth, on the north side, looks like a snake's or a turtle's; between the heads, on two (?) sides are dragons passant, one side has a lion passant and the fourth side is decorated with circles; the base consists of a broad central shaft with four attached colonnettes at 90-degree angles, all with moulded capitals and bases; on a short square plinth; the whole of the base appears to be a later replacement. Low-dome octagonal metal cover with marked arrises, four ring handles and an orb-and-cross finial; date unknown, perhaps 19th-century.
