The web site of Dr. Paul Samuel [http://kundarapally.tripod.com] reports and illustrates the baptismal font of the old Syrian Orthodox Church, now [2003] in ruins. The font is of type encountered in Syria itself: a bucket-shaped basin of smallish proportions raised on a cylindrical stem and a moulded lower base; the latter appears to be made of metal. [NB: this item for future reference -- not researched -- it appears that the font and old church may date from the 19th or 18th century]
