A large font-like object is shown in our FileImage#1211120030 standing outside the church, in what appears to be the south wall of the nave; it appears monolithic and polygonal [octagonal?] and shaped like a font or a large stoup; the ornament on the basin consists of four protrusions that resemble the heads used on some medieval fonts; the chamfer has lip-like cuts that turned the bottom shape to square. It is used as a planter now.
