Two baptismal font heads sculpted in "black marble", carboniferous limestone from Belgium. Heads entirely surrounded by a hood, one depicting a heart, with stylized features including close-set almond-shaped eyes, a nose with a flat bridge, a horizontally half-open mouth, a thin upper lip and a fleshy lower lip. Mosan, Diocese of Liège, 13th century Heights: 22.5 cm and 20.2 cm Soclées Numerous baptismal fonts and holy water fonts in Belgium, from the 12th to the 16th century, are carved with stylized heads. These belonged to a large circular vat and can be compared in style to the heads on the fonts in Maastricht's Bonnefanten Museum, which are thought to have been made around 1300 (fig.a). The same workshop also supplied the vessel for the church of Saint-Pierre de Haren, in the Borgloon district near Tongeren, also in the late Romanesque style (fig. b).
