Click to view
Baptismal font made of marble, consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with mouldings and a ribbed pattern, raised on a moulded round-to-square base that rnds in large scrolls at the tips; the cover is also hemispherical and somewhat similar in design to the basin, but inverted, and with a large urn-shaped finial; the cover appears to be raised by means of a counterweight. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here].
