Click to view
Irregular octagonal basin with deeply carved sides that include four figural scenes (Baptism of Christ in the Jordan, baptism in a font, cleric holding up a book, a female figure holding a child) alternating with four large foliage motifs [the scenes of the woman and child and the cleric with the book may be part of the Sacrament of baptism theme around the font]. There is significant damage to areas of the upper rim, and through cracks are visible on the sides; the basin is raised on an irregular block that probably is not the original base.
