Noted in Drake (2002): "At Steffenshagen is a font that is so similar [to the font at Gross Nemerow] in size, shape and decoration that it could be by the same hand. The round base is flat and has the same square spurs as Gross Nemerow, which here are less worn and can be seen to consist of crude masks. Between them is a radiating saw-tooth motif and the base of the shaft is encircled by a snake. Around the top of the bowl is a line of zigzag, below which are eleven circular faces in round frames flanking a Crucifixion very like that at Gross Nemerow. The differences are that there are no figures standing below the cross, and that a pair of fleur-de-lis grow from the extremities of the horizontal arms." Drake (ibid.) mentions Mehnert (1934) suggestion about three other fonts perhaps related: Gielow, Rühlow and Schloss Williegrad.
