Noted and illustrated in Pfarre YBBS [https://pfarre-ybbs.at/cms/pfarreybbs/pfarrkirche/] [accessed 14 September 2023] where it is noted that the font was relocated from its earlier location within the church interior in the 2001+ renovations, towards the middle of the south aisle. The font consists of a decagonal basin raised on a round moulded base; the two blocks of stone appear different in colour and texture [is the base a modern replacement?]. Decagonal wooden cover, moulded and with an orb-and-cross metal finial; appears modern.
