view of basin - interior

there is a small drain hole visible on the left side of the bottom of the inner well; it was probably done when the font was used as water-trough in a garden

Font Notes:
An e-mail communication of 28 May 2015 from Joost Limburg to BSI notes: "The origin of the font in the museum in Zutphen seems to be uncertain. Ter Kuile writes in 1958 [www.dbnl.org/tekst/kuil005kwar01_01/kuil005kwar01_01_0007.php] [accessed 31 May 2015] that in a notary's garden in Borkelo (now Borculo) there was a font that is said to be from the village of Terborg, which Ter Kuile thinks unlikely because Terborg became an independant parish only in 1382. Limburg [ibid.] adds: "Steensma (2007) refers to Ter Kuile, adding that the font went to the museum in 1967. Ligtenberg doesn't mention it at all. [...] It appears that, like many other fonts, this basin spent a part of its life serving as a water trough in a garden; the base is probably lost." The surviving basin, although it has lost its upper rim, appears to be similar to the one at Hage (Germany), categorised in Drake (2002) as "Bentheimer School, Type Hage 1".
