The German Wikipedia entry for Trommetsheim [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Emmeram_(Trommetsheim)] [accessed 13 January 2025] notes and illustrates two baptismal fonts in its church; this one is described as a sandstone basin of cylindrical shape, the sides decorated with an arcade of trefoiled arches containing large leaf motifs in each; it appears to have no base now and rests directly on the ground beneath the pulpit.
