The font is a baptismal basin, typically set at a fixed height to receive the faithful, yet here it rests at floor level, partially swallowed by earth. It is an easy thing to overlook, which may be precisely why it has survived at all.

A drawing made by A. Korff, published in 1991, records the font clearly enough to show a central drain hole in its base, the kind of practical detail that speaks to regular liturgical use over a long period. By 1992, when a photograph was taken, the font had become partially buried, settling further into the ground of a church that had itself long since fallen into ruin. The relationship between the font and the carved stoup above it is unusual; a stoup is a small wall-mounted vessel for holy water, distinct from a font, and the fact that both survive in the same corner suggests the space was treated with some care, even as the building deteriorated around them.
