Click to view
Baptismal font of stone, a very crudely made vessel and in very poor state of repair after probably centuries outside the church, when it was replaced by the present font; the basin is polygonal [octagonal] the sides uneven in shape and length; the base appears to be a somewhat shapeless block, perhaps quadrangular. It is located outside the church and covered in moss and lichens. No cover present. [cf. BSI entry for Serzedelo No.2 for the baptismal font in use in this church]
