Illustrated in Hildebrand (1907: fig. 243). Baptismal font, probably Gothic, consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with a band of rosettes around the upper basin side, as well as a row of intersecting semicircles below the former, and a base with two volumes: the upper is square with trimmed top and bottom corners; only two of the sides are visible in our source: one decorated with a human head, the other with a romboid pattern; the lower volume of the base is conical with a frame of roll mouldings at top (horizontal) and sides (vertical); on these vertical mouldings are incised human and animal forms.
