Font Notes:
Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a ribbed pattern all around, raised on a moulded square pedestal. It is now disused, in the cloister of the convent. [NB: the Dominican father who provided access to the cloister where the font is now located commented that it was thought the font was originally from elsewhere, location unknown, as the church of the convent does not have parochial functions -- but, was it always the case?]
