Noted and illustrated with measurements in Ligtenberg (1915), who gives the location as a museum in Amsterdam at the time. Listed in Drake (2002) as a baptismal font classed in the Bentheim group "Group A/B1 Transitional", somwaht similar to the fonts at Almen, Apeldoorn and Vledder [cf. Index entries]; it is different in that it lacks the outer colonnettes of the base, which is a broad shaft ending below in a square cushion-capital shape, "demilunes decorated with whorls". A crude work of small dimensions. The metal basin from the Reformation font of this church was also sold and ended up at the Rijksmumeum in Amsterdam as well, but was later restored to Sint-Brigittaskerk, Ommen -- cf. Index entry for Zwolle as a possible font from this church].
