Tournai font
A Tournai font is a baptismal font made during the 12th century in the Belgium town of Tournai. There are seven complete examples in England and a disputed number in Europe: eighty according to one source, or fifty in Northern France and Belgium and two in Germany according to another. They are all fashioned out of Tournai marble, a dark form of limestone quarried near Tournai.
==Background==
A sculptural tradition, centred around Tournai, arose in the Scheldt valley from the 11th century onwards. This was characterised by low relief (which was a useful feature when a sculpture was transported), hard lines and the depiction of minute detail, these features arising from the hardness of the material used from the 12th century: Tournai marble. As a sculptural style it is distinguished from the contemporary Meuse style, and it was used in sculpture in both Ghent and Bruges.
