Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a round shallow basin decorated with a pronounced torus-scotia at the upper rim, most of its surface covered in foliated motifs, cherub heads at 90-degree angles; raised on a bulbous baluster pedestal base with foliage motifs, and a square lower base equally ornamented. The dome cover appears to be fixed to the upper rim of the basin, or is part of the same block, with a part that opens to give access to the baptismal water inside; the outer surface of the cover is decorated with cherub heads in fields of garlands and foliage; the moulded finial has the same excess of foliated motifs. [NB: we have no information on the font from the 14th-century church here].
