Leeuwarden No. 3 / Leewarden

Noted and illustrated in Ligtenberg (1915) as a baptismal font located at the Leeuwarden museum at the time; measurements are included; arrived in the museum only a few years before; it is made of wood and consists of a cylindrical basin on a thuncated-cone shaped pedestal base. This font appears to be the one entered in the Fries Museum's Collectie Het Koninklijk Fries Genootschap with the code 27C-121, "Houten cilindervormig doopvont", dated "1150 - 1249". Two photographs of this font in the Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doopvont_van_Foswerd_-_Leeuwarden_-_20133112_-_RCE.jpg] [accessed 6 February 2016], are captioned "doopvont van Foswerd", although the records of the Fries Museum do not appear to included this provenance. There are records of a Benedictine monastery in Foswerd dedicated to St. John the Baptist. Was this font originally from Foswerd? [NB: cf. Index entry for Leeuwarden No. 2 and 4 for other wooden fonts in this museum].
