Bucket-shaped Coptic baptismal font said to be from the 6th century; the surface of the basin is covered in a tight-knit interlace pattern, with at least one 'window' that has a floral and foliage symbol in it; around the lower end is a wheat-sheaf like symbol all around that ends in the front with three encircled crosses. The basin is damaged and has a significant part missing around the upper rim.
