Described and illustrated in the parish site Evangelische Kirchgemeinde Philippsthal [https://schlosskirche-philippsthal.de/unsere-kirche/] [accessed 31 October 2023] as a Gothic (13th-century?) baptismal font consisting of a round roughly hemispherical basin decorated with trefoils inscribed in circles, and one shield inscribed in a circle on its side said to be the stonemason's arms; the pedestal base is hexa with tracery on its sides; moulded lower base of the same shape; it stood outside the church for a long time re-purposed as planter ["Ein gotischer Taufstein aus rotem Sandstein auf sechseckigem Fuß und einer darauf sitzenden Schale mit Kreisen verziert, befindet sich links neben dem Altar. In einem Kreis ist das Wappen des Steinmetzen sichtbar, der diesen Stein geschaffen hat. Das genaue Alter und die Herkunft können leider nicht mehr ermittelt werden. Kenner datieren ihn in das 13. Jh. Über Jahrhunderte hinweg hat er außerhalb der Kirche gestanden und wurde unter anderem als Blumenschale von der landgräflichen Familie genutzt. Die Steintaufschale ist vom Regen sehr ausgewaschen, sodass sie heute eine Kupferschale bedeckt."]
