Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a rather original pattern of nested rectangles all around; raised on a round base decorated with ball motif at 90-degree angles; a round and flat piece of darker stone (?) has been placed between the basin and the base, presumably to stablise the basin on the much damaged and now irregular base. There is no font cover present, but the upper rim of the basin is badly damaged, probably from the matal staples of an old font cover.
