Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a cyclindrical pedestal base ill-suited to the top; the basin is decorated with a band of zig-zag between parallel grooves around the upper sides, with several [four?] inscribed Maltese crosses around the sides; at the bottom of the underbowl is a parallel moulding. No font cover present, but the upper rim has a notch that was probably an anchoring spot of the hardware of an old cover.
