Gothic-style baptismal font consisting of a trefoil-shaped basin, both inside and out, raised on a columnar base of three attached columns; the basin has mouldings at the top and bottom sides, while the space in between is decorated with clusters of foliage/floral motifs; the columns of the base are decorated with mouldings; and the lower base is roughly triangular with trimmed angles.
