Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a square moulding above a round one at the upper rim; the rest is plain; raised on a quadrangular torasde base that appears modern. The basin itself appears re-tooled, and it has been drastically modified inside to accommodate a mini-font [which appears to be the specialty of the diocesan plumber].
