The entry for this church in Římskokatolická farnost Rakovník [https://www.rkfrakovnik.cz/zkusebni-stranka/kostely/kostel-sv-bartolomeje/] [accessed 11 November 2023] notes a baptismal font made of pewter in 1490 by Jan of Rakovnik, a bell maker; the font cover by M. Flemík from 1591 ["Křtitelnice byla dodatečně doplněna dnešním víkem, spodní část pochází z roku 1490 [...] Křtitelnice je cínová, dílo zvonaře Jana z Rakovníka [...] horní z roku 1591"]. The bell-shaped basin is decorated with four(?) scenes on the sides, one of which is the Crucifixion of Christ; it has cover anchorings at the upper rim, one of which is a bearded male human head; raised on three legs of which the upper part is a male bearded human demi-figure, the lower an animal's leg. The font cover has an octagonal-to-round lower section with an extended upper pivot that ends in a figural finial.
