Die mitteralterlichen Taufsteine der Provinz Schleswig-Holstein
A German antiquarian survey of medieval baptismal fonts in Schleswig-Holstein, compiled by Ernst Sauermann and published in Flensburg in 1904 for church historians and students of medieval ornament. The plates are halftone photographs of carved stone basins on cubical and round bases, showing Romanesque arcading, seated figures, foliate scrolls, beast heads and interlace in low relief against plain grounds \u2014 a source for stone-carved pattern bands, grotesque faces and heavy geometric silhouettes.
