Bronze baptismal font consisting of a bucket-shaped basin decorated with three bands of ornamentation separated by thin mouldings; in the top one are inscriptions, symbols, and motifs; the middle band contains a Crucifixion, several haloed figures, heads, symbols (a Maltese cross) and motifs; the bottom band includes several round and square motifs similar to those in the band above, as well as several small heads; here, too, are the larger heads of the three standing figures that support the basin; these three figures are much like those supporting the font at nearby Neuenkirchen St. Marien's: young, short mane, apparently male, perhaps lower clerics? they stand with their hands held at the front, level with their belts and bags; at the upper rim of the basin are two plain protrusions at opposite ends that would have served to anchor the font cover.
