Baptismal font consisting of an irregular round tapering basin that appears to have some attempt at ribbbing on the sides; the lower end a narrower volime also round and tapering [it is not clear from our source whether the lower part is one block with the basin proper]; on a small square lower base or plinth; a metal band girdles the upper basin sides; there is at least one staple form an old font cover.
