Listed and illustrated in Otto Bocher's DIE ENTWICKLUNG DES LÖWENTAUFSTEINS IN DER HESSISCHEN UND RHEINFRÄNKISCHEN GOTIK [https://www.worms.de/neu-de-wAssets/docs/bildung-bieten/Stadtarchiv/Wormsgau/Der-Wormsgau-5-1961-1962/Nr.3_bd.5WG_-5.-Band.pdf] [accessed 5 November 2022] as a fragment of an octagonal baptismal font made of red sandstone at the time in the garden of the estate Dr. H. Schnell (Worms, Luginsland 17) as a flower bowl; the remaining decoration is of foliage and brances; any figural decoration that may have existed on it now lost; traces of paint remain on it; some measurements of the fragment included; the entry indicates that a Mrs Ruth received it from a private collection in Worms in 1960, and there is certainty that it came originally from the Pfarrkirche Johannes dem Täufer in Nieder-Flörsheim, where it still was in 1925.
