Bronze baptismal font of the mid-15th century; it consists of a bucket-shaped basin with two human heads at opposite ends of the upper rim; a running inscription around the upper rim, and another on the lower basin side; between those, an arcade of crocketed pointed arches containing figures and scenes; raised on four hieratic figures at 90-degree angles on a flat ring-shaped lower base. The low conical cover is also made of bronze and may be contemporary, but the knob finial may be a later replacement.
