In the garden of a private residence, serving now as a garden ornament, is a stone basin that appears to have belonged to a baptismal font; probably of the 16th or 17th century, decorated with a ribbed pattern; raised on a cylindrical pedestal or unknown origin. The surface of the basin is very weathered and has damage showing on several spots.
