Font Notes:
Metal baptismal font made of copper, originally from Sint-Nicolaaskerk, now at Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek, Maastricht; made by Jehan Aert van Tricht (fl. ca. 1492–1501), who also made the magnificent font at Hertogenbosch. What remains of the Sint-Nicolaaskerk font is however pale remains of its original workmanship, as all of the decorative elements on it, probably matching those of the Hertogenbosch font, were stripped off this font at some time in the past. The font is now very plain, a dodecagonal basin with a single moulding at the upper rim and a rounded underbowl, raised on eight (?) colonnettes clustered to a broad central shaft, and a moulded lower base also octagonal. The cover is also of dodecagonal shape, almost a mirror copy of the basin; it has been stripped of all its decoration, the only trace of what has been lost being four tiny shelves that may have accommodated the Evangelists' symbols, if the decoration matched that of the Hertogenbosch font. Like the latter, the font cover hangs from the arm of a wall-mounted crane, itself devoid of any ornamentation.
