Pol Herman writes [e-mail communication of 5 September 2021 to BSI]: "the head of Sint Huibrechts Hern in Belgium (now lost, because the priest sold it to an antiquarian)." The fragment mentioned is of a head with the characteristic broad-leaf like often found in round fonts of the area made of black & blue or grey limestone.
