Click to view
Baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period; the cauldron-shaped basin is plain except for a band of circle and cross (Greek) motifs around the upper side; the basin stands on a plain short circular base. There appears to be damage to the upper rim of the basin, in the anchoring spots where the iron staples of the old cover were.
