Baptismal font, probably of the Baroque period, consisting of a round basin decorated with a pronounced moulding at the upper rim, below which are four human heads at 90-degree angles, and a garland between them; the basin is very eroded; raised on a round bulbous pedestal base decorated with ribbed pattern, and a splaying octagonal lower base. The wooden cover is round and flat, with a flat Latin cross atop, and handles at opposite ends; modern. The church contains also a late-date holy-water stoup consisting of a hexagonal basin with one longer side where it is attached to the wall, raised on a similarly-shaped pedestal base and lower base; the basin has a pronounced upper rim with rosettes below, one on each side.
