Chalice-shaped baptismal font made of bronze in 1508; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with figures, an incised inscription and several dragons within the text of the inscription; the protruding figures are: a Crucifixion scene with a bare cross, i.e., without Christ on it now, but it appears that it was originally on the cross but now lost or stolen]; Mary and John (?) below the arms of the cross, and with the Sun and the Moon incised above the arms; male figure holding an object in the right hand [the object is probably a bunch of stones, and the figure is likely Stephen, patron saint of the church]; the third is a female figure [Anne?] holding two children in her arms; the child in her right arm appears female, wears a dress and is holding an open book [Virgin Mary?]; the child in her left arm appears naked [semi?], without any distinctive markings [John the Baptist?]; moulded circular stem; round lower base with inscription around the sides. No cover present.
