Baptismal font with a band of Norman-looking vegetal motif at the upper rim; below, a set of six (?) round arches, with processional croses under them (Cahiers d'archéologie d'Alsace, VII, pl. XII, 2). This could be the font identified by Corblet as coming originally from the parish church of Bischeim (Corblet, 1881-1882, v. 2, p. 145).
