A large roughly hemispherical baptismal font ornamented with large protruding ribbed pattern around the lower side and underbowl; the upper part of the basin side is vertical and plain except for a roll moulding around the upper rim; this area is reinforced with an iron brace; the basin is a rather crude ill-proportioned work. The base is round at the top, with four scrolls and square at the bottom.
