Described and illustrated in Herrera Casado (2003: 78): baptismal font of the Renaissance period consisting of a hemispherical basin mounted on a quadrangular base; the basin is delicately decorated with low-relief all over; at the rim it has a tendril runing all around; the sides of the basin are decorated with a pattern of slanted ribbed pattern, with a tall plant inside each rib; a dot appears in each of the the spandrels of the ribbed pattern; a narrow band filled with a tendril identical to the one at the rim marks the separation between basin and underbowl, the latter being covered in a ribbed pattern -these are straight vertical ribs- with an eight-petal star flower in each rib; the base has decorative mouldings at top and bottom and a plant on one of the sides.
