Font Notes: Click to view

Baptismal font made of metal [copper?] consisting of two detached parts; the main one consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round pedestal base with a moulded and decorated lower base; the font cover, which appears to be a set with the font, is vasically the recerse of the font and has a very large radiant finial. The second font (?) consists of a small hemispherical basin raised on a pedestal base similar to the one on the main font; perhaps this was originally created as a holy-water stoup, or a detached double font.
