Baptismal font of the late Romanesque period (Wulf, 1996, p. 61). The font consists of a hemispherical basin with a thin torus-scotia-torus motif ubelow the upper rim, the scotia painted pink/red; round-to-square base with roll moulding at the top and flat moulding at the bottom. No cover present but the font has a metal (?) grid that supports a small basin used for baptisms now.
