Baptismal font consisting of a plain octagonal basin with a tall tapering underbowl, resting directly on an octagonal plinth; the north face of the basin has a triangular depression with drilled holes that must have held the cover lock; the inner basin is also octagonal, not a common occurence in Spanish fonts, and has a central drain.
