Baptismal font made of bronze in 1365; it consists of a rouchly bucket-shaped basin raised on four human figures that rest on a circular lower base; the basin has a human head protruding from the upper rim, an anchoring point for the original font cover; below the rim is a band on inscription, the letters of which are stylised, broad and flat; similat lettering is found in the spandrels of the arcade below; the arcade has stylised pinted arches with pinnacles on the columns, the latter resembling rather plain buttresses; at the tip of avery arch-head is a floral motif resembling an angel with open wings; in each arch is a standing figure, some of them holding objects that may be identifying symbols; the lower end of the basin has a vine with foliage and fruit, the leaves resemble vine leaves but the fruit looks like arum rather than grape bunches; the four figures were short tunics with hoods on, the right hand raised to support the basin, the left on their belt; the circular lower base appears original and has five graded rings. No font cover present.
