The baptismal font bears the beginning of the Credo text and the date "mcccl" on its narrow sides; the underbowl chamfer is decorated with the characteristic leaves and scallops of the Zabreri fonts, as well as charged shields and emblems (one of them "IHS"); the base is a moulded round pedestal with the characteristic octagonal centre ring, decorated with letters; the splaying lower base is round, with scallops and charged shields on its top surface, but it appears to be a modern replacement. The wooden cover is of the rim-buffet type, like Pagliero's font, which this one resembles.
