Remains of a medieval font are listed and illustrated in the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek [http://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/4B3QQPDNEK452G6ZIV3LZQBQLCKHZT2] [accessed 24 April 2024]. Notes in the museum inventory [Inv.M.P.3122.57.pdf] [accessed 24 April 2023] [cf. ImagesArea] record that the fragments of the font originally from Herbécourt could not be located and that there was no inventory record found either. According to the available photograph and descriptions the font consisted of a basin decorated with a broad vine frieze, with monstruous heads among foliage in the underbowl, a plain cylindrical stem and a square lower base on which there would have been a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes; these columns would have their corresponding capitals in the heads of the underbowl, while their bases show mouldings and vegetal scrolls. The fragment of the basin suggests it was a quadrangular piece.
