Baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period consisting of a plain bucket-shaped basin, rather irregular, mounted on an equally plain cylindrical stem; the lower base, a cylindrical piece decorated with a large striated roll moulding at the top is probably of a later period and not part of the original font.
