Noted and illustrated with measurements in Ligtenberg (1915), with location an a museum in Assen at the time. Noted and illustrated in P.W.J. v. d. Berg's Ouder doopvonten en hun gebruik, in the Nieuwe Drentsche Volksalmanak, 56e Jaar (1938) [doopvonten en hun gebruik.pdf] [accessed 7 April 2022]; the caption in tthis illustration located the font in the "Prov. Museum - Assen". Listed in Drake (2002) as a Bentheim School font of the Larrelt group (Berlin (Deutsches Museum), Blersum, Borssum, Brummen, Dorkwerd, Goldenstedt (on a farm), Larrelt, Manslagt and Peize. Kroessen (2004) mentions that the lions that support the basin are symbolic of the devil and exorcised by baptism. Noted and illustrated in the J. Knottnerus' site [http://home.kpn.nl/n1357/peize_14.htm] [accessed 25 January 2016], with references to De Leeuw (1977: 26) and Van Deijk (2002: 101). Baptismal font consisting of a round tub-shaped [almost cylindrical] tapering basin, decorated with three roll mouldngs framing two bands of vine motif; the upper vine more geometrical; at the lower end, a pattern of fan frieze; the base, which is uncharacteristically very well preserved, has a moulding atop, with four sejeant-regardant lions at 90-degree angles; their bodies face fully inwards, their heads fully outwards; two of them show their teeth, the other two show their tongues; each of the spaces between them has a plain colonnette attached to the centre shaft. There is no cover present now but the damage at opposite ends of the upper rim bears witness to an earlier cover, perhaps one that would fit in the groove made for the purpose.
