Baptismal font made of Namur limestone in the 15th century; originally from Lavaux-Sainte-Anne, now in the Musée des arts anciens du Namurois at Namur. The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with four human heads at 90-degree angles, the panels between them decorated with blind arcades of very plain trefoiled arches or windows, without capitals or bases; a thick moulding on the top of the underbowl, the sides decorated with square flowers, each different from the next; the stem of the base is also octagonal and is decorated with a prominent moulding with striated top; at the bottom another mloulding; the lower base is also octagonal; each of the corresponding panels to those of the basin has a seated lion holding a charged shield, while the panels between are decorated with quatrefoils. There is no cover present now but there is a large anchoring staple from an earlier cover at the upper rim.
