Listed and illustrated in KIK-IRPA BALat [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/66410] [accessed 19 February 2022] as a baptismal font made of limestone between 1101 and 1300. The basin is square and the sides are reduced at the panels showing a graded underbowl and the corners re-shaped [NB: this re-shaping of the panels and corners of the basin is likely a later re-carving]; cylindical central stem with moulding at eache end; round-to-square lower base with broad moulding all around and four large leaves at the corners. It is a common type of design usually dated to the transitional base from five support to a single-support. Wooden cover with a frame secured to the upper rim of the stone basin.
