Listed with measurements in Ligtenberg (1915), with location in a museum in Assen. Noted and illustrated in P.W.J. v. d. Berg's Ouder doopvonten en hun gebruik, in the Nieuwe Drentsche Volksalmanak, 56e Jaar (1938) [doopvonten en hun gebruik.pdf] [accessed 7 April 2022]; the caption in tthis illustration located the font in the "Prov. Museum - Assen". Listed in Drake (2002) as a baptismal font of the Bentheim School, "Berge a. Type I", with other fonts in this group in Ankum 1, Arle, Berge, Borghorst, Emlichhein, Emstek, Gescher, Haselunne, Hattem, Jellum, Lastrup, Metelen, Munster Museum, Norg 1, Ochtelbur, Ramsdorf, Recke, Toornwerd and Zweelo. Described and illustrated in Kroesen & Steensma (2004) as a sandstone baptismal font of the Bentheim workshops. The font, which appears monolithic, consists of a cylindrical basin with a chamfered underbowl that ends in a ring moulding, and a base that, starting under the ring, turns from round to square, with seated human figures at the four corners; the ring moulding appears to rest on the shoulders of the four figures. The sides of the basin are decorated thus: under the much-damaged the rim, a vine between two sets of braid or double rope moulding, then a fan palmette pattern that reaches the lower rim; the base starts with a centre ring right after a minimum underbowl chamfer, with human figures at 90-degree angles, the sides concave and plane, turning to square shape towards the bottom. Kroesen & Steensma (2004) note that the font had been moved to Drents museum, but was restored in the church in 1999. Described and illustrated in Knottnerus (2005) [http://home.kpn.nl/n1357/vries_18.htm] [accessed 27 January 2016] and references to Van Deijk (2002: 121), De Groot (1976: 19) and De Leeuw (1976: 23). A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 22 December 2022) notes the similarities with the font at Woudenberg [cf. BSI entry]: "Comparing the Woudenberg head to other Bentheimer fonts, the Woudenberg font must have been similar to Vries."
