Noted and illustrated in Gisela Bähren-Aye's Taufbecken in Niedersachsen: aus der Zeit vom Ende des Dreißigjährigen Krieges bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts (2005) [https://ediss.sub.uni-hamburg.de › dissertation] [accessed 20 July 2023]. Described and illustrated in the Ludwig-Münstermann-Gesellschaft e.V. [https://www.ludwig-muenstermann.de/werke/kirchen/bockhorn] [accessed 20 July 2023] as a baptismal font made of wood, one of series of such hexagonal fonts made by Onno Dierksen that includes the somewhat similar font at Fedderwarden ["Taufbecken mit Deckel. 1661. Material: Eichenholz. Maße: H. 105 cm, D. 60 cm. Zustand: Der Deckel ist nicht erhalten. Aus welcher Zeit die jetzige Fassung stammt, ist nicht geklärt. Zuschreibung an Onno Dierksen. Dieser Typus eines kelchförmigen Beckens über sechseckigem Grundriß, in dessen Wandungen jeweils eine Relief-Karusche eingefügt ist, ist eine Erfindung Onno Dierksens und wurde mehrfach ausgefertigt. Das Motiv der Tugend-Halbfiguren in der Kuppa entspricht der reziproken Darstellung auf der Deckel-Kuppel des Taufbeckens in Fedderwarden von 1648, dessen Cherubköpfe auf der Kuppa mit denen vom Schaft des Beckens in Waddewarden zu vergleichen sind; an der späten Datierung in einer Quelle von 1864 darf demnach gezweifelt werden."] [cf. BSI entry for Fedderwarden for a somewhat similar font by the same master/workshop]]. The entry for this church in the Ostfriesische Landschaft [https://gezeitenkonzerte.ostfriesischelandschaft.de/gezeitenblog/st-cosmas-und-damian-kirche-bockhorn/] [accessed 20 July 2023] notes the presence of two fonts in it: a stone font from ca. 1200 and a wooden font of 1661 ["Neben einem einfachen Taufstein aus der Zeit um 1200 gibt es einen hölzernen Taufständer von 1661 mit Engelsköpfen und Halbfiguren der Tugenden."] The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.-Cosmas-und-Damian-Kirche_(Bockhorn)] [accessed 20 July 2023] mentions a 13th-century baptismal font among the oldest furnishings in this church and a wooden font purchased after the 1630 fire ["Die ältesten Einrichtungsgegenstände sind ein Taufstein aus dem 13. Jahrhundert und ein Grabstein aus dem Jahre 1656 [...] Mit dem Bau der Kirche wurde im Jahr 1230 begonnen. Sie ist als typisch friesische Kirche zum Teil aus Findlingen gebaut und auf einer Warft errichtet. 1630 wurde die Kirche bei einem Brand durch Blitzschlag beschädigt. ]
