The baptismal font in this church may be the original of the 12th-century building, but it is impossible to assign it a date as it is a crude object without any decorative motifs; the basin is roughly hemispherical and damaged all over, specially at the upper rim; it is not lined but the interior appears to have been painted; it is raised on a round base, but whether it is a stone or a pile of painted concrete is anyone's guess. No cover present. The font appears disused.
