Noted in Lüneberg Heide [https://www.lueneburger-heide.de/service/sehenswuerdigkeit/1259/st-urbani-kirche-munster.html] [accessed 20 April 2018] as a baptismal font made of bronze in 1432; it consists of a roughly bucket-shaped basin decorated with two bands of vegetal motif, and Crucifixion, Mary with the Christ Child and John the Baptist [NB: we are not able to confirm that the Baptism of Christ is one of the scenes on this font, nor do we access to the inscription on it]; the base consists of three (?) standing youth, their feet resting on a little platfomrs on a moulded ring lower base, also of metal. The metal font cover is a very low dome, almost flat, and has small floral motifs just in from the outer rim; patterned ball finial; appears modern, but there are anchoring points on the sides of the basin near the top, to fit the lock of the original cover.
