Baptismal font of the double-font type consisting of a main octagonal basin with a secondary constructional basin of hexagonal shape; the main basin is supported by a hexagonal pedestal base with a splaying moulded lower base of the same shape; the secondary basin is supported by a polygonal pedestal base also qith a splaying lower base; the upper rim of the main basin is actually round; the inner well of the main basin is hexagonal, and there is an additional rectangular space to the side; the inside of the secondary basin is hexagonal and has a centre drain. There are several drilled holes in the main basin rim, likely related to an earlier cover [NB: none present on the font at the time of our visit]. The whole font is made of coarse granite.
