Roughly cylindrical granite baptismal font mounted on four reclining beasts; the upper basin side has a band of two-strand braid at the rim; below it an arcade of round arches, each inhabited by a figure; the figures are probably the Apostles and Christ himself; the base consists of four (?) grotesque animal (lion?) protomes that appear to be detached and are placed at 90-degree angles, much in the manner of German fonts of this period. Dehio (1988) notes a Regensburg influence on this font.
