Romanesque baptismal font of the 13th century consisting of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with broad bands of motifs: below the moulding at the upper rim is an acanthus vine, separated from a rope moulding by a thin roll moulding; below is a trim of hanging circles and another trim of triangles below; at the curve of the underbowl are the ends of very broad ribs that decorated the underbowl surface; the stem is short and decorated with diagonal ribs or piping; the lower base is made up of a large moulding with spurs at 90-degree angles. Inside the basin is a covered blue-and-white porcelain vessel that appears to be used to hold the baptismal water; it bears the date of "19-V-1976".
