Scope 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.
