Baptismal font(?) of ca. 1260 originally probably from Jacobskerk, Winterswijk (Gelderland); now in the Museum Catharijneconvent, Utrecht; listed and illustrated in Joost Limburg's Romanesque Baptismal Fonts in the Netherlands / Romaanse doopvonten in Nederland [https://joostlimburg.photos/dutchfonts/#twekkelo] [accessed 16 March 2026]. [NB: the small size of the basin has raised questions on whether it was perhaps a stoup].
