Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a large but shallow round basin raised on a cylindrical pedestal base, both plain; the basin appears to be too shallow for a medieval font and may have had part of the upper end cut off, as it often happens in fonts that have a damaged upper rim; it has a central drain.
