Baptismal font of coarse granite; the roughly hemispherical basin has a protuberant pair of demi-figue angels holding a shield charged with a coat of arms [unidentified]; around the upper side above this sculpture is a running inscription that goes all around the basin, and continues on a second line to the side of the angels [NB: full text not available, but a part of it appears to be "STIAGO", probably an abbreviation of "Santiago". There is no font cover present but the basin retains a metal staple from an old cover anchor.
