Font Notes:
Click to view
Baptismal font made of granite probably when the church was built, ca. 1250; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a band of very shallow carved vine; raised on a round-to-square -roughly cushion-capital shaped- with a very crude human face or head in each upper corner, while the four panels are decorated with a vine pattern somewhat similar to the one on the basin. No cover present; the fot is now used in combination with a modern metal baptismal dish with a running inscription on it.
