Baptismal font now at the Märkisches Museum of Berlin; it consists of a small, roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a ribbed pattern on the sides and underbowl, below a flat rim moulding that bears a painted inscription; raised on a round baluster-type moulded pedestal base, and a tiny quadrangular two-step plinth. The painted insctiption appears to be a version of Mark 16:16 ["Wer da glaubet und getauft wird, der wird selig werden; wer aber nicht glaubt, der wird verdammt werden" = "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."]
