Listed in Drake (2002) as a 'C. Rhineland', 1. Cylinders' category, together with others at Grossen Linden, Heuchelheim, Hoch-Weisel, etc. An early photograph [cf. ImagesArea] shows the stone basin before its restoration: the basin showing the damage of split stone ar the upper rim; it is mounted on a modern three-legged frame made of metal, and has a wooden flat cover on it; since the photograph is in B&W it is difficult to know whether the basin was painted at the time. Tub-shaped almost cylindrical basin resting on short feet that may be part of the main block (appears monolithic); decorated with a diaper-pattern between two roll mouldings all around; frieze of floral scrolls around the lower sides; said to be of first half of the 13th century(?) and made of basaltic lava stone. Now painted. No cover present but there is a modern metal insert with a probably Biblical scene.
