Baptismal font made of reddish granite, consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a pattern of large indentations that may suggest a vegetal motif; the underbowl ends in an octagonal stub that would connect with the base; on a short and plain octagonal pedestal base of similar material; rests directly on the ground; there is a square notch cut into the upper side of the basin, with some drilled holes in it; this is probably the anchoring for the old lock of an earlier cover. The present cover is modern, made of wood, round and plain.
