Ligtenberg (1915) reports and illustrates the lower base of an ancient limestone font, but the basin and stem are modern [="Alleen voetplaat aanwezig; kuip en steel van later tijd"]; located beneath the tower; without measurements. Van Agt (1962) quotes a description of a composite here from an 1906 inventory: the lower base with moulded column bases of a 12th-century limestone font, the basin of the 17th century; the copper font cover of 1819 [="Hardstenen doopvont, waarvan de voet met de basementen van vier hoekzuiltjes romaans is, xii, en de kuip xviid (Publications, 1906, blz. 354), diameter 79; koperen deksel met s.d. gadet te maastricht fecit anno 1819 den 1 julyus & h. schoenmaekers pastor i doutzenberg caissier. p. stassen kerkmeesters van klimmen. Zwart marmeren doopvont met zwellingen, xixa, diameter 54, op balustervoet; koperen deksel met zwellingen." Noted in Schönlank (1999). [NB: recent photographs show the later font and its metal cover inside the church, but we have been unable to corroborate the presence of the lower base of the medieval font].
