Medieval baptismal font; the basin is roughly cylindrical and plain, monolithic but with two volumes, the underbowl being shorter and narrower, with markedly slanted sides, whereas the basin sides are almost vertical; at the upper rim, at oposite sides, two iron staples to anchor the cover lock; the basin is raised on a cylindrical pedestal base with a wider volume at the lower end [NB: the base appears to be of a different colour of stone and could be a replacement of the original base]. [cf. Index entries for Salardu Nos. 1-3 and 5 for other listed objects in this church]
