The round tapering basin has a faint moulding at the upper rim, with two rows of scallop motif , one large, one small, below; the sides and underbowl are covered in a ribbed pattern. A hole (holes?) has been drilled on the sides of the basin, below the rim, probably as part of the locking system of the font cover. [NB: no information provided on the base]
