Described and illustrated in St. Lubentiuskirche [https://dietkirchen.info/en/st-lubentiuskirche] [accessed 17 November 2022]: "The hemispherical, late Romanesque basin with a notch-like frieze is estimated by art experts to date back to the 13th century. The basin rests on a short central pillar made of lighter stone. In contrast to the massive appearance of the basin, it is supported on the outside by six very fragile columns with bud capitals. The bases of the columns are each Attic. The basin is 0.85 m high. It has a diameter of 0.94 m and a depth of 0.31 m. The hexagonal wooden structure that closes the basin is attributed to the 17th century, with an origin around 1600." Illustrated in Kirchbau.de [https://www.kirchbau.de/bildorig/d/dietkirchen_lubentius_taufbecken1350x2185_gunther_seibold.jpg] [accessed 17 November 2022]. The lower base on which the colonnettes of the base rest appears to be a modern replacement.
