Listed in Mackeprang (1941) as a baptismal font of the Himmerland-Mariagertypen, Mariagergruppen-C, together with he fonts at Gossum and Stenild. Nordström (1984) records and comments on the inscription on this font. So does Corelli (2001: 300). Described and illustrated in Norn (1999). Noted and illustrated in Søren Kaspersen's Jyske fonte med modstillede løver.[1] Et præliminært studie, 17.8.2016 klo 23.15 | Tieteelliset artikkelit | TAHITI 04/2016 [https://tahiti.journal.fi/article/view/85640/44590] [accessed 21 November 2023]; Kaspersen remarks on the two pairs of lions, one pair with hanging tongues, the other 'smiling' with bare teeth; he gives a partial transcription of the inscription and notes that between the words "E(T IN) LVMINE TVO" and "VIDEBIM LVM(EN" there is a hole in the stone where a candle would have been placed; Kaspersen (ibid.) dwells on the symbolism related to baptism of the whole decoration on this font ["Særlig interessant i denne sammenhæng er fonten i Øster Hornum kirke, tilhørende Mariagergruppen. Her finder vi to par modstillede en face løver uden nogen ansigter imellem dem, det ene par med tungen ud af munden (Fig. 12), det andet par ’smilende’, med blottede tænder (Fig. 13).[62] Desuden ses på kummens rand dels et hul til en kærte placeret lige over symmetriaksen mellem det sidstnævnte løvepar, dels en nu vanskeligt læselig indskrift, hentet fra salme 35(36), 10: + QVONIAM APVD TE EST FONS VITE · E(T IN) LVMINE TVO [kærtehul] VIDEBIM LVM(EN) (For hos dig er livets kilde, og i dit lys ser vi lyset).[63] Dette salmevers citeres i liturgien for dåbsvandets indvielse påskeaften, idet det afslutter hymnen ’Rex sanctorum angelorum’ som en versiculus. Har hullet til den tændte kærte, præsten gav den nydøbte i hånden, vendt mod øst, er indskriften begyndt mod syd – med +’et placeret lige over et maskeagtigt hoved mellem de to løvepars bagkroppe. De to løver med tungen ud af munden har så vendt mod vest som de løver, der leder ind i selve dåbshandlingen. Symmetriaksen mellem dem fører vertikalt op til indskriftens ’TE’, der henviser til Herren som livets kilde. Samtidig har disse to løver måske også haft en ondtafværgende funktion, relateret til eksorcismen. Som sådan har de erindret om overvindelsen af Djævelen ved Kristi nedfart til dødsriget, mens de ’brølende’ løver mod øst så har tegnet sejren over døden, Kristi opstandelse, og dermed muligheden for det evige liv." Noted and illustrated in the parish site [www.oster-hornum.dk/filesbase/Ohkirke.pdf] [accessed 8 August 2016]. Noted and illustrated in the Aalborg Stift web site [http://aalborgstift.dk/kirker/rebild/oster-hornum-kirke/dobefont/galleri/3335] [accessed 8 August 2016]. The font consists of a 3/4 spherical basin ornamented with a rope moulding at the upper rim and four passant-gardant lions on the sides; the base is cylindrical ornamented with several roll mouldings. The general work is crude, the heads of the lions are rendered playfully: two are feline with long tongues sticking out; two others are rather simian with shadowed eyes; the tails end in floral tufts; on one of the sides, between the two lions , is a floating simian head. Traces of paint on the font surface recorded. The inscription is carved on the upper surface of the rim, and refers to the font as a fountain of life and light.
