Noted in 'Gotische Bronzefünten in Nordostdeutschland' [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotische_Bronzef%C3%BCnten_in_Nordostdeutschland] [accessed 30 March 2010]: "Die Zuschreibung durch Thieme-Becker an den Meister Ulricus steht wohl in Widerspruch zu Datierungen bei Beseler, wonach die Fünte aus dem letzten Viertel des 13. Jahrhunderts stammen soll." The font consists of a bucket-shaped basin decorated with six thin mouldings on the sides; it has anchoring loops for the original font cover below the upper rim; stands on three standing figures with fancy belts. No cover present.
