Baptismal font [or holy-water stoup] consisting of a smallish cylindrical basin raised on a tall cylindrical stem; the sides of the basin are decorated with palmette motifs as well as with a band that appears to resemble water in which other -unidentified- motifs are lined up; it appears to be of late date, probably 16th or 17th century.
