font over
A lid for a baptismal font; usually movable, and suspended above the font either by a counterpoise or by a swinging crane, to all of which apparatus a highly decorative character is generally given. The cover, or lid proper, is usually carried out in the same architectural design, agreeing with that of the font itself. In a few cases the font is enclosed at the top with an immovable structure; a sort of prolongation upward of the bowl itself, but opening on one side, at least, by means of a door. (Jones, 1992)
