Described in Drake (2002): The Jennelt font stood some years in the Emden Museum, before being placed on loan in the Neue Kirche [Emden]. It follows the basic Group 'B' model in almost every respect and differs only in the main (single) band of decoration. This is a continuous vine tendril with both undulations following the Danish covention, with leaf shoots branching away from and on both sides of the main stem, a type of tendril not found on any other Bentheim font. The remainder of the programme consists of a wide plain band, a pair of narrower plain bands framing the decorative frieze and a single cable at the bottom of the bowl" [NB: Drake footnotes the description by stating that it "is taken from a poor photograph, F. Petersen, p. 49. There may be a double cable at the bottom instead of a plain band over a single cable." [cf. ImageArea for a good view of the decorative programme from a later photograph]. Baptismal font of the Bentheim group on loan from the Ostfriesischen Landesmuseum in Emden after the 2013 renovation of this church; the font itself was also restored; the font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a band of scroll vine sandwiched between two rope mouldings, raised on a round-to-square base with four couchant lions at 90-degree angles. No cover present but there is the usual baptismal dish of metal used in northern churches. [NB: there are two other Bentheim fonts list in BSI for the Ostfriesischen Landesmuseum in Emden; see entries for Marienwehr Nos. 1 and 2]
