A brief article published on 26 July 2012 in the ED Nieuwsmedia [https://www.ed.nl/overig/expositie-archeologische-vondsten-van-opgravingen-bij-catharinakerk~afd3d924/] [accessed 9 November 2021] informed on an exhibition of the archaeological findings in 2005-2006, among which were fragments of the medieval font that had been broken up in the Iconoclasm ["Beeldenstorm"] of August 1566; the exhibition informed that the 'pastoor' continued to use a fragment of the font in 1567 but that the font of the "Maaslandse type" was later buried ritually in the churchyard, which is where the archaeologists found it in 2005-2006. The basin is of the round type with four heads set at 90-degree angles, of which only two have survived.
