The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedenskirche_(Świdnica)] [accessed 7 March 2023] notes a baptismal font of 1661 by Pankratius Werner from Hirschberg. The hexagonal basin is decorated with human busts at the angles, the bodies made of decorative motifs; each side of the basin bears a heraldic device [the family coats or arms of Nostitz, Berger, Czettritz, Sommerfeld, Rotkirch and Ratschin]
and an inscription above it, all of which is framed in painted and gilded panels; the base consists of a central shaft and six gilded scrolled ribs. The cover is also hexagonal with gilded decorations; at the top is a a canpy suported by columns that house a Baptism of Christ scene; pine cone finial, also gilded. Both font and cover appear to be made of wood.
