Noted in Kroesen & Steensma (2004) as a font of Baumberg sandstone: "The font in Rastede has eight individual figures under arches, but without dividing columns: Christ, St. Peter and probably six apostles. The vine frieze with fabulous animals is very similar to the one on the slightly conical font in Hohenkirchen, and they both perhaps come from the same workshop [...] The baseplate in Rastede is now lost." [NB: Christ and St. Peter are easily identifiable, but is unlikely that the other figures be Apostles, as one is clearly a woman and another is portrayed very differently from Jesus and Peter, both physically and in his vestments. Could these two figures be patrons or donors?] Described and illustrated in the Parish web site [www.ev-kirche-rastede.de] with date ca. 1250.
