A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 20 May 2024) notes: "Baptismal font at the museum MUST in Ronse (Belgium) n the garden of the Must Museum voor textiel rests the stone basin a Mosan-type baptismal font; it had originally four human heads set at 90-degree angles but one is lacking. It seems late-Romanesque, early-Gothic. It is believed to be from a church in Zeeland (NL); the piece was part of a private donation around 1960."
