Baptismal font with a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with stylised sope motif at the upper and lower basin sides, while the space in between these is filled with an interlace forming roundels containing foliage and other [unidentified] motifs; the spaces between these roundels are occupied by rosettes; on the upper sope motif there appears to be a knot, typical of the early Franciscan fonts of Mexico. A recent [April 2008] partial photograph of this basin by ''hu90' can be seen in FLICKR at [http://www.flickr.com/photos/hu90/2438293454/] [accessed 20 July 2008]
