Illustrated in Egert-Romanowska & Omilanowska (2001: 143): baptismal font probably of the Gothic period; the basin is roughly hemispherical in shape, actually polygonal [16 sides?], and is ornamented around the upper side of the basin with foliage motif inside scallop-like semi-circumferences; large ring moulding below the underbowl; the short plain circular base is splayed. The inner well of the basin is lined with metal, probably lead. [We are grateful to Montserrat Estela, of Barcelona, Spain, for bringing this font to our atention]
