Note: Large basins or other vessels, often made of stone and with a cover, set in or on the ground or fixed on a pedestal; intended to catch the runoff water used during the baptism ceremony. As used in certain denominations, the basin must have a drain so that the baptismal water can flow directly into the ground. |

Dutch ..... Bekkens of andere vaten, die vaak op een voetstuk geplaatst zijn en water bevatten voor de doop. |
German ..... Großes Becken oder anderes Gefäß, häufig aus Stein gefertigt und mit einer Abdeckung versehen, in den Boden eingesetzt oder auf einem Sockel befestigt; gedacht, um das abfließende Wasser während einer Tauffeier aufzufangen.
