The rounded basin has a large scotia under the rim and is not very deep inside; it is mounted on a square column of a totally different shape and stone. Totally plain except for the mouldings on the upper part of the base. It is probably a composite font (opus mixtum), since neither the style of the two parts, nor the type of stone, match.
