Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin and a round-to-square pedestal base; the basin has a blind arcade of round arches around the lower side of the basin, and a row of ball motif around the underbowl; the sides of the base have two parallel rows of ball motif. The wooden font cover, hinged in the midle, is modern, but some of the damage to the font sides and upper rim may be related to the hardware of an earlier cover.
