Baptismal font made of local granite; it consists of an irregular but roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a pattern of concave ribs all around the sides and underbowl, likely the product of a local stonemason; there is a notched square carved on the upper basin side to accommodate the lock of an old cover; the basin is raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. The wooden cover is modern, flat and plain but its perimeter matches exactly that of the basin rim.
