A late-medieval mortar(?) re-purposed as baptismal font is listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/42078] [accessed 15 September 2024]: "doopvont, vijzel [...] Date: 1501 (onzeker) - 1600 (onzeker) [...] terracotta [...] Vijzel die als vijzels als doopvont werd hergebruikt." [NB: if it is made of terracotta it is more likely to have been originally made as a grain measure than a mortar]
