Scene Description: Source caption: "Kamenná krstiteľnica je celá vytesaná z kameňa. Jej pôvodné miesto sa nachádzalo pod triumfálnym oblúkom. Táto skutočnosť sa zistila až v súčasnosti pri generálnej oprave, po odkrytí betónovej podlahy z konca 19. storočia. Krstiteľnica pochádza zo začiatku 16. storočia."

The entry for this church in the Poruba web site [https://www.poruba.sk/kostol-sv-mikulasa.html] [accessed 4 July 2023] illustrates a stone font and notes that it is dated to the early 16th century and was originally located beneath the triumphal arch ["Kamenná krstiteľnica je celá vytesaná z kameňa. Jej pôvodné miesto sa nachádzalo pod triumfálnym oblúkom. Táto skutočnosť sa zistila až v súčasnosti pri generálnej oprave, po odkrytí betónovej podlahy z konca 19. storočia. Krstiteľnica pochádza zo začiatku 16. storočia"]; the font consists of a round basin decorated with a broad scotia all around, raised on a plain round pedestal base and a quadrangular (?) lower base or plinth; there is no cover present but there are two metal staples at opposite ends of the upper rim of the basin to anchor an earlier cover.
