The font consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim; below, a band of vertical ribbing; the underbowl is covered in a pattern of stylised ribs; narrow squat stem with a band of the vertical ribbing between two roll mouldings; the lower base is a round moulding on a square lower volume decorated with a motif (leaf?) at each angle.
