Monolithic baptismal font consisting of a plain tub-shaped basin resting directly on the ground without a base. No ornamentation on it. The wooden cover is round and flat; appears modern. Near the font, to the side, stands a basin on a pedestal, both of which appear to have an unfinished side that was originally embeded in a wall; both basin and pase have petterned decoration on the carved sides; we have no information on it but it appears to have been a holy-water stoup originally.
