A late oval font in dark marble, equiped with double basin wells, one slightly larger than the other. The base consists of two separate columns, one under each side of the basin. The whole has been encased in a 18th-century white-and-pink enclosure from which rise four marble columns that support the white-and-gold roof of the baldaquin.
