Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a short round-to-square pedestal base; the basin has a band of decoration between two mouldings, with a number of motifs and symbols in it (anthropomorfic flower, tower, star with cross inscribed, head, etc.), while the underbowl sides are covered in a diagonal concave rib pattern, and ending in a roll moulding below; the short square base appears to have spurs at the four lower angles. The wooden cover is flat, round and plain; date unknown.
