The entry for this church in Medievalheritage.eu mentions "an octagonal baptismal font from the 15th century, created from reused architectural details of the church (which probably were not used due to the changed plans)". The entry for this church in the Polish Wikipedia [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kościół_św._Andrzeja_Apostoła_w_Koninie] [accessed 18 May 2024] memtions an octagonal 15th-century Renaissance font in it ["W kościele znajduje się także ośmioboczna renesansowa chrzcielnica z XV wieku."] The font appears to consist of three volumes: an octagonal basin decorated with floral motifs on the panels, a slightly wider upper base (?), also octagonal, decorated with sherged shields on the sides (one of them a croix de Lorraine), and a round (?) lower base decorated with sort-of-triangular shapes that may have originally been blank shields. The font cover consists of an octagonal base with motifs on the sides somewhat similar to those on the font basin sides; atop is a tall statue with cross and banner [Christ?]; appears modern.
