Scene Description: possibly a font turned upside upside-down to support the statue on top -- could be a font from another church, since this church functions now as a museum for liturgical pieces gathered from other churches

Click to view
There is a crude baptismal font oddly located in an alcove of the north wall of the nave; it appears to be disused, serving as the base for a statue of Christ; the font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin of granite devoid of any ornamentation, raised of short base. No cover present. A second object in this church -the building is used now at least in part a museum- appears to be also a baptismal font of granite, now turned upside-down and serving as a base to hey another statue of Christ.
