Listed and illustrated in BALat-KIK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10077317] [accessed 12 March 2022] as a baptismal font dated between 1601 and 1700, and made of limestone and brass [="Calcaire carbonnifère [...] laiton battu[métal]"; height 166.6.cm [includes font cover]. The present baptismal font in use in this church is an odd composite object consisting of a metal [brass] basin and cover in which the two halfs form a sphere that opens at the middle; the cover has a large crucifix finial; that basin has been mounted on a round pedestal base thar looks like it may have been a holy-water stoup previously, or similar; the upper third is wider than the rest; on it is a grotesque male head with an open mouth that serves as drain [NB: a drain would not make any sense in a stoup, of course; so, what was it?]; to the left and right sides of the head are hemispherical protrusions that look like half balls; the rest of the pedestal is plain. [cf. BSI entry for Lavaux-Sanite0Anne No. 1 for a 15thC(?) font from this church now in the Musée des arts anciens du Namurois at Namur]
