Noted and illustrated in Bewermeir & Kößmeier (2007) as a baptismal font of a type produced in this area of Germany in the 12th and 13th centuries [cf. Index entries for fonts at Boke, Vellern, Lippborg, etc.] The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim; below it, a rich vine all around; the sides of the basin have a number of arches containing standing figures [Apostles?] as well as a full scene of the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan; the scene includes John the Baptist on the right, his right hand raised to Christ's head (apparently in a gesture of benediction); the dove is above Christ's head, while the lower part of his body is covered in the waters of the Jordan, symbolised here in a series of concentric semicircles; to the right is a figure holding up clothes; this figure is not winged; the lower part of the font has a scotia-torus combination all around.
