Baptismal font consisting of a large almost cylindrical basin decorated with several (five?) large foliated medallions containing anagrams of Christ and the Virgin Mary; the upper rim of the basin has a flat moulding with a crenellated band below; the lower end of the basin has a pronounced roll moulding; there is metal band for reinforcement below the crenellated pattern. The font may have had a cover but there is no visible evidence of staples in the rim. There is a holy-water stoup near the font [cf. Index entry for Jilotepec No. 2] and a wall-mounted stoup [cf. Index entry for Jilotepec No. 3] also listed for this church.
