A holy-water stoup made of Mosan limestone between 1541 and 1560 is listed in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10078656] [accessed 3 March 2024]: "bénitier [...] Pierre bleu de Meuse [...] Date: 1541 - 1560 [...] hauteur: 95.5 cm". There are four human heads set at 90-degree angles on the basin sides are actually busts with arms that reach down or across; one of theose busts holds and orb-and-cross in the right hand; one side of the underbowl is decorated with a Crucifixion scene, while the others show an assortment of motifs and symbols (animals, human faces or masks, stars, fleurs-de-lis, etc.); a broad rope moulding decorates the stem of the base; the upper surface below has floral motifs all around; the sides of the lower base have four stops that makes the bottom square.
A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 24 October 2023) surmises that the fonts at Hannêche and Bocholt, and the stoup at Seilles were probably made in the mid-16th century by the same workshop; the three objects are not identical but share many of the design and decoration characteristics.
