Voorloopige lijst der Nederlandsche monumenten van geschiedenis en kunst. Deel VIII, II. De provincie Limburg (Meerloo-Zwalmen), 1926) reports a baptismal font (or holy-water stoup?) of the 15th century. The object consists of an octagonal basin with moulded sides and, instead of the usual four heads set at 90-degree angles, here they are replaced by floral motifs; plain octagonal pedestal base on an octagonal-to-square moulded lower base. Bell-shaped metal cover [copper?] with orb-and-cross finial.
