Click to view
Tub-shaped monolithic polygonal basin resting directly on the ground; it appears to be cemented to a corner of the church walls; the only decoration is a Latin cross on the front side; it is not likely that the symbol is an original part of the font, more likely added later. The font could be as early as the earliest parts of the church. There is a later-date stoup in this church, octagonal with decorated sides, raised on an octagonal pedestal stem.
