The font cover here, but not the font itself, is noted in Schulin (2021) among a group of Baroque font covers with a full figural scene on it. The baptismal font consists of a hexabonal basin with large cherub heads on some of the sides, raised on a hexagonal baluster-shaped pedestal base, and a wide lower base or plinth of the same shape. The wooden font cover, noted in Schulin (ibid.) above, has a polychrome scene of the Baptism of Christ by John in the presence of an angel as finial on a hexagonal base.
