Click to view
Baptismal font of marble, a round tapering basin with a broad flat moulding at the upper end, a saw-tooth pattern below; raised on a squat round-to-square base. No cover present. This font is locked inside the baptistery and appears to be not in use. The modern font in use consists of a hemispherical gadrooned basin raised on a fluted column and a round-to-square lower base standing on four brass feet. Low-dome brass cover with Greek cross finial.
