Scene Description: the medieval font originally from Odagsen, as displayed in the interior of St.-Jacobikirche, Einbeck in 2011 -- notice a large hole in the underbowl, visible here on the left side of the image;it was there either to drain the basin through the side originally, or, more likely, made when the font was used for other purposes outside the church for a time (e.g.: farm implement, garden ornament, etc.)

Click to view
The present font in this church is medieval [Romanesque?] and was received from the parish church of Odagsen [Odagsen St.-Pankratius has a 17th-century font in use there]; it consists of a round basin decorated with a pair of vines all around the sides, wheels (?), floral and foliage motifs around the underbowl chamfer; a thick roll moulding separates the basin from its broad round base, the sides of which have unusual rope motifs, as well as floral and foliage motifs [NB: there appears to be an emblem like motif on the side of the base; it was either re-carved at a later date or the date of the piece should be reconsidered]. No cover present
