Baptismal font consisting of a plain hemispherical basin raised on a round-to-square base and a squat square plinth; the base has a roll moulding at the top, and has ball motifs at 90-degree angles in the lower base. The is no font cover present now but the damaged upper rim shows the drilled holes for anchoring hardware of a cover. A shallow dish supported by scroll arms serves now as baptismal dish, in the manner of modern uses of ancient baptismal fonts in some churches of northern Europe.
