Baptismal font consisting of a basin that has eighteen concave ribs on the outside, the inside of the inner well round;each of these ribs contains a single motif or symbol about half-way down the side: one Latin cross, two (?) six-pointed stars, two blank shields, one (?) pentagonal knob and a number (12?) of ball motifs; some of these have been guilded, probably relatively recently; the outer ribs stop at the beginning of the underbowl, the surface of which is decorated with an equal number of concave ribs with inscribed pointed motifs; it is raised on a short octagonal (?) base that has a moulding around it. The upper basin side is cracked, and there are traces of the old cover staples at the upper rim.
