Click to view
A somewhat awkward descendant from the classical fonts of the Namurois, but by this time it has lost the basin angle heads and acquired too many confusing turns; octagonal basin with 90-degrree angle protrusions and torus-scotia-torus decoration in between, plain rounded almost cylindrical underbowl; pedestal base of several parts, top-down: plain cylinder, patterned centre ring moulding, octagonal moulding, octagonal stem section, graded octagonal moulding, octagonal lower base with stops at four corners to make it square at the very bottom. Awkward. Metal [brass?] font cover, two-stage dome with ord-and-cross finial. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here].
