Stone baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a flat-rib pattern all around the basin and underbowl, a roll moulding at the upper rim and another such at the bottom of the underbowl; the stone is flawed, not perfectly rounded, with one side somwaht flat; this side has been used by the mason to make one of the ribs wider than the others and add on it a six-petal floral motif inscribed in a circle; a few of the nearby ribs have reticular or diagonal patterns incised on them; raised on a plain cylindrical pedetal base and a circular lower base. The wooden cover is round and flat, modern.
