Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a large cylindrical basin raised on a squat makeshift base that probably had nothing to do with the font; the sides are decorated with a wide braid all around just below the upper rim, a wide band of large lozenge motifs in the centre, and a narrower band of saw-tooth below; the inner well has an indentation all around at the top, probably to fit a flat wooden cover; there is also damage to the upper rim that is probably due to hardware from an old cover. No cover present.
