A baptismal font here, without any details, is reported in Zeitschrift des Historischen Vereins für Niedersachsen: 1865 (1866: 405); the date given in it for the church itsef is 1393. Noted and illustrated in Evangelisch-reformierte Gemeinde Uphusen - Online.de [http://s402872356.online.de/uphusen/drupal/?q=node/40] [accessed 18 November 2018 -- the link is damaged; access only indirectly] : "Der vorreformatorischer Zeit entstammende Taufstein wurde, wie so viele Taufen in Ostfriesland, im 13. Jahrhundert aus Bentheimer Sandstein geschaffen." The font appears to be almost identical to the one in Sleen [cf. Index entry]. Baptismal font of Benthein sandstone consisting of a slightly tapering round basin made of Bentheim sandstone; its design matches the classification assigned in Drake (2002) as "Bentheim School; Type Sögel I, Sögel", which includes fonts at Damme, Greetsiel, Grimersum, Kantens, Rijsen, Sleen, Sögel, Thuine and Uphusen. The basin decoration has, from top down, a braid, a rather geometric vine, a second braid, and a second vine, this one acanthus; the round-to-square lower base couchant-regardant lions -some damaged- at 90-degree angles. Metal cover on it; it may actually be a baptismal dish, the cover proper covering only the mini-basin of the dish..
