Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a torsade fibbed pattern in which some of the ribs are rope-shaped; between the ribs are columns of ball or 'X' motif; the centre ring is a rope moulding; the round-to-square lower base has a diagonal ribbed pattern simpler than the one on the basin, and only balls in the grooves of the ribs. The font is locked inside a large cage-like railing that would make an animal circus proud.
