The font consists of a round basin with four protruding human heads at 90-degree angles, the basin sides decorated with large circling vines; the present base is an odd round pedestal partly covered in plaster or cement, perhaps a replacement of the original one [or, is it hidden in the plaster?] Large metal staples in the upper rim.
