Lipperswil

Described and illustrated in Schätze des Glaubens (1999: 131) as a baptismal font in the Early-Gothic style dated 1695; the hexagonal basin has short vertical sides and rounded underbowl; it looks like it has been recently re-tooled. The short stem of the base has vertical column-like mouldings and some romboid concave pattern resembling honeycombs, a pattern which appears also on the lower base; both stem and lower base are octagonal.
