Baptismal font consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with a pronounced moulding at the upper rim, a smaller one around the upper basin side, and a stylised ribbed pattern all around the lower basin and underbowl; raised on a short cylindrical stem decorated with a fluted pattern that mirrors of the pattern on the basin, with mouldings at both ends. The upper surface of the basin rim shows the two iron staples of the old cover.
