The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarrkirche_Friedersbach] [accessed 13 June 2024] reports a decagonal baptismal font of the late 15th century with a font cover of the early-19th century and a Gothic holy-taer stoup of the 15th century ["ein Taufstein von Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts mit zehnseitigem Becken und einem Holzdeckel vom Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts; gotisches Weihwasserbecken und Opferstock im nördlichen Seitenschiff (15. Jh.)"]. Baptismal font of stone [granite?] consisting of a decagonal basin raised on a short moulded round pedestal base and a square lower base or plinth, the latter of a different stone and may probably be a later addition or replacement. No cover present but the upper rim of the basin retains two metal anchorings from an earlier cover.
