The entry for this church in the Belgian Wikipedia [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Église_Saint-Paul_de_Rahier] [accessed 19 January 2024] mentions a 12th-13th century baptismal font in it ["Les fonts baptismaux de style roman datent du XIIe siècle ou du XIIIe siècle"]. The entry for this church in Mini-Ardenne [https://www.mini-ardenne.be/poi.card.php?language=fr&id=2225] [accessed 19 January 2024] reports a 12th-century baptismal font with four heads on the basin ["Les fonts baptismaux de style roman datent du 12è siècle. Ils sont composés d’une cuve à 4 têtes d’angle"]. A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 30 July 2023) includes a description of the font that appears to be from D. Guilleaume's L’archidiaconé d’Ardenne dans l’ancien diocèse de Liège (Liège, 1913, p. 98) [NB: we are unable to corroborate the source at the moment]: "Fonts baptismaux provenant de l’ancienne chapelle romane. Cuve semi-sphérique monopédiculée, sans décor. Cantonnée de quatre têtes d’angles très grossières, visage à peine dégrossi. Coiffures en toques plates à rabats couvrant les oreilles (sorte de casque). Ni cou, ni consoles. La partie inférieur de la cuve a été retaillée. Fût cylindrique monolithe et socle octogonal gothique en pierre différente. Cuve en calcaire du sous-étage tournaisien, couvert de cinq couches successives de peinture, dont aucune originale (R. Sneyers). Haut totale 124 cm, hauteur cuve 46 cm, diamètre cuve 69 cm, circonférence du fût 142 cm. XIe ou XIIe s., avec remaniement tardif."
