Monolithic baptismal font consisting of a round basin decorated with a finely executed band of rounded one-strand braid between two mouldings, all around; the underbowl tapers off to a round stem and a moulded lower base; one of the staples of the old cover remains in place in the upper rim, the other appears to have been broken off and damaged the basin.
