Baptismal font noted in Guilleaume (1913). Tollenaere (1957) describes it as a roughly rectangular vessel with tapering sides decorated with vegetal motifs, serving as trough in a nearby farm ["Ferme Goose, auge en forme de parallélépipède rectangle, ayant peut-être servi de fonts à immersion. Une seule grande face décorée : rinceaux plats et maigres, dessinant des arabesques autour d’un motif central fait d’un rinceau en disque aplati, au centre duquel s’épanouit une palmette baguée. Sert d’abreuvoir"]. Noted and illustrated in Lanotte (1993). The font, which is not listed in BALaT KIK-IRPA, is one of two that were installed in the new church at Sainlez.
