Hemispherical stone basin of small size raised on a metal tripod base used as baptismal font; the outer sides are decorated with a number of figures in varied positions; the inner well has been divided with a vertical partition. The object appears to have been decorative originally, later adapted for use as a font. Date unknown, but could be modern, or a re-cut or otherwise altered older piece. The church itself dates to the 16th century.
