Additional Comments: disused font (in a museum) -- museums, which are supposed to collect pieces for the present and future, are notorius for impeding access to scholars; this was no exception as they refused to permit BSI to use the necessary equipment to photograph the font properly 9NB: a belated reply allowing permission caught us driving away from Oldenburg).

Noted in the museum's web site [http://cms2.niedersachsen.de/portal/live.php?navigation_id=24431&article_id=85025&_psmand=184] [accessed 1 September 2014]: "Ein solcher motivreicher Taufstein befindet sich auch in der Dauerausstellung im Schloss. Das spätromanische Becken wurde aus westfälischem Sandstein um ca. 1260-1280 erstellt und stammt aus der Kirche St. Cosmas und Damian in Wiarden. Der Taufstein besteht aus einem runden Körper, der sich zum Boden hin verjüngt und von einem Sockel getragen wird. Unter dem Beckenrand verläuft ein breites Reliefband aus Ranken, deren eingerollte Triebe Tiere und Fratzen umrahmen. Während die Sockelzone unverziert geblieben ist, trägt die Hauptwandung figürlichen Schmuck. Den Hintergrund dieser Zone bildet ein Rautenmuster mit lanzettförmigen Blütenblättern. Dargestellt sind die Anbetung der Könige, die Taufe Christi, die Kreuzigung und Christus in der Vorhölle, wobei einige der Figuren jedoch stark bestoßen sind. Die Mulde im Stein diente dem Einlassen eines Metallbeckens – dem eigentlichen Taufbecken. Auf dem Rand des Beckens sind noch die Einlassspuren für einen heute fehlenden Deckel zu erkennen. Rudimentäre Spuren einer Fassung sind ebenfalls auszumachen." On-site notes: baptismal font made of Bamberg sandstone, originally from the parish church of St. Cosmas and St. Damian at Wiarden, near Wilhelmshaven.
