The German Wikipedia entry for this church [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Georg_(Urmitz)] [accessed 3 October 2023] mentions a baptismal font believed to have been made of basalt around 1500; the stem is probably a late-18th century replacement. The font cover with the sculpture Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan is also a leter addition [NB: the Wikipedia entry gives Urmitz. In: Die Kunstdenkmäler des Landkreises Koblenz (Nachdruck). Pädagogischer Verlag Schwann, Düsseldorf 1981, S. 344–346. as source]
