Inventoried and illustrated in Schulin (2021) as a late-Gothic baptismal font of ca.1510. Noted and illustrated in Post (2020) who notes that the present font, like the pulpit, dates from the time the nave was re-built, ca.1510, and that its beaded-tape arches and tracery match those on the pulpit; the modern font cover bears an inscription ["Der Taufstein stammt, wie die Kanzel, aus der Erbauungszeit des Kirchenschiffes, wohl um das Jahr 1510. [Anm. 6] Das spät-gotische Stabwerk und die genasten einbeschriebenen Rundbögen des Maßwerks stimmen stilistisch mit der Kanzel überein. Der moderne Deckel trägt die umlaufende Inschrift: „Du bist getauft im Namen des Vaters, des Sohnes und des Heiligen Geistes.“] The German Wikipedia entry for this church [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Alban_(Gabsheim)] [accessed 9 April 2024] mentions a late-Gothic baptismal font of ca.1510 in it ["Aus gotischer Zeit stammen bedeutsame Bildwerke der Ausstattung (Kanzel, Taufstein) [...] Der Taufstein mit Blendmaßwerk um 1510"].
