Noted in Meier-Kreiskott (2011) as an octagonal baptismal font dated 1472 [cf. infra] by an inscription and having a figure of St. Sebastian on it: "8-eck, zusammen gesetzter, aber zu einem gewissen Grad verschliffener Aufbau Auf einem oktogonalen Sockel erhebt sich der gleichfalls achteckige Schaft, dessen Kanten von Stabwerk verdeckt werden und dessen Seiten konkav eingezogen sind. Der Übergang zwischen dem Schaft und dem tiefen Becken wird mit Hilfe der Dekoration (Zwickelblasen) weich und geschmeidig. Deren Profile laufen bis zum Beckenrand durch und es ergeben sich Felder für Maßwerkzier. Bemerkenswert ist an diesem Taufstein die an einer Beckenseite angebrachte Sebastiansfigur [...] H. 1,02 m, D. 1,06 m; Rotsandstein". Meier-Kreiskott gives Schöpfer 1972, S. 215; Huber 2007, S. 8. as sources. Heinz G. Huber and Kurt Bayer (5 February 2022) [https://www.kath-oberkirch.de/ueber-uns/pfarrgemeinden/st-sebastian-nussbach/] [accessed 11 December 2022] report a baptismal font of ca. 1476 in this church. Noted and illustrated in Siebenbuerger.de [https://www.siebenbuerger.de/ortschaften/nussbach/bilder/68118.html] [accessed 11 December 2022], which shows part of the long inscription on the basin [cf.
