Noted and illustrated in 'Gotische Bronzefünten in Nordostdeutschland' [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotische_Bronzef%C3%BCnten_in_Nordostdeutschland] [accessed 2 April 2010]: "Der umlaufenden Inschrift der Fünte mit entsprechendem Wappen und den Initialen HK zu Folge wurde diese Taufe 1450 von dem Priester Hinrich Koppelmann gestiftet. Drei kniende Engel tragen den runden Kessel, der von zwei umlaufenden, von der Inschrift jedoch getrennten, Reihen mit je elf separat gegossenen, aufgenieteten Reliefs geschmückt wird. Unter niedrigen Maßwerkbögen sind jeweils für sich stehende Szenen der Passion Christi, sowie der Stifter der Fünte bildlich dargestellt.
