[NB: to be visited and documented] Described and illustrated in Biehl (1926) who dates it probably to the 8th century. In Carletti & Giometti (2010) with date in the late 12th century. The object appears to be quadrangular, and only the front side is visible in the illustrations: the side has a thick rope motif all around as a frame; a plant or tree in the centre divides the side into two parts, each ornamented with a deeply carved rosette. [NB: the font, to be documented, is said to be of the 15th-16th century]
