The font in this church appears to have been broken up and later reconstructed by encasing its lower half in cement; the original font appears tub- or bucket-shaped, and mostly plain, but there is an encicled Maltese cross that is partially covered by the cement casing [NB: we are unable to see whether or not there are other motifs/symbols on the rest of the font]
