Baptismal font of stone consis ting of a roughly hemispherical basin the underbowl of which is decorated with a blind arcade of round arches; the square base appears modern. The present cover is modern but there is evidence on the basin side, below the upper rim, of drilled holes used for anchoring an old lock.
