The entry for this church in the Kirchgemeinde Oberwil I.S. [https://www.kircheoberwil.ch/unsere-kirche.html] [accessed 1 August 2023] notes a late-Gothic baptismal font of 1520 with a font cover of 1680 ["Spätgotischer Taufstein von 1520, der Deckeln stammt aus dem Jahr 1680."] Every other panel of the basin appears to be filled with a figure, but some have been defaced or totally removed.
