Click to view
The present baptismal font in the 18th-century church consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, otherwise plain, raised on a square pedestal base; the inside of the basin shows a secondary small basin attached (?) to it on the inside; we have not been able to determine whether the attachment is original or a later addition; the attachment has a metal staple in it; was it meant for a cover? The rim moulding is damaged. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here, demolished in the 18th century].
