Click to view
Baptismal font of large proportions consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin covered in a pattern of thick ribs all around, and a wide rope-like moulding at the upper rim, raised on a round and very short base. There is significant damage to the upper rim at opposite ends, probably related to the old cover anchoring hardware, and the whole basin is very weathered, as if it had been exposed to the elements for a long time.
