Baptismal font of the 12th century believed to be originally from the medieval [12th-century] parish church [Protestant] at Mundolsheim, listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: IM67010815]: "Cuve baptismale circulaire en forme de baquet posée sur 4 pieds. La partie cintrée des pieds est ornée d'une gorge, le corps du cylindre possède un décor gravé de 2 cordes qui semble rappeler le cerclage des baquets baptismaux d'origine. La bordure supérieure de la cuve est gravée d'une frise d'ondes fait d'une, de deux ou de trois lignes et surmontée d'une frise d'entrelacs. Feuillure intérieure, traces (?) de 2 trous de fixation du couvercle et un trou de vidange à la base [...] milieu 12e siècle (?) [...] Provenant vraisemblablement de l'église de Mundolsheim, ces fonts baptismaux se trouvent depuis une date inconnue dans cette ferme. Ils servirent longtemps de bassin pour nettoyer les légumes. Le trou de vidange à la base de la cuve est peut-être d'origine. L'oeuvre est à rapprocher au niveau formel des fonts baptismaux provenant de Zellwiller (aujourd'hui conservés au Musée de l'Oeuvre Notre-Dame, Strasbourg). Elle mériterait d'être mise à l'abri (dans l'église ?)." Le Patrimoine des communes du Bas-Rhin (1999) reports the presence of an ancient tub-shaped sandstone basin in the garden of private house in Mundolsheim; the basin is almost cylindrical slightly wider at upper part, and has, at the lower part, had cut four round arches, thus giving the impression of standing on legs; just above these arches, a band of double-rope motif all around the basin; there is another band of ornamentation, this one of tight wavy-line motif, right below the rim.
