The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_St._Arnold_(Arnoldsweiler)] [accessed 20 Januaary 2026] reports a 12th-century Romanesque font in the baptismal chapel: "In der Taufkapelle befindet sich ein romanischer Taufstein aus dem 12. Jahrhundert." The font, now disused and located pitside the church, consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin decorated with a torus-scotia combination below the upper rim; it is raised on a clustered column base. The font is much damaged and eroded; the base is probably only a part of its original height. No cover present
