Clemen (1891-) notes that it could be assumed that Schöller had a baptismal font, an octagonal one, just as nearby Gruiten did [cf. BSI entry for Gruiten]. The entry for this church in Marina Alice Mutz [http://www.zeitspurensuche.de/02/o1wsch1.htm] [accessed 6 May 2024] mentions and illustrates a baptismal font of the 13th century in it. So does the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarrkirche_Schöller] [accessed 6 May 2024]. The font is an octagonal baseless tub, the only decoration a broad flat moulding below the rim. No cover present but there is evidence of damage by anchors drilled in it. A communication to BSI ftom Pol Herman (e-mail of 27 March 2024) suggests a dating in the 15th century instead.
