Baptismal font of large proportions; the round basin has a torus-scotis-torus decoration at the upper rim, with broad ribs that become narrow at the bottom and end in a ball motif; the inside of the basin has concave ribs; a modern small metal insert is now used to hold the holy water. Late font, probably 16th- or 17th-century at the earliest; perhaps 19th-century?.
