The baptismal font in this church is a round, roughly hemispherical tub made of cranite or a vocanic stone; it has a pronounced flat moulding at the upper rim, a round moulding below and a ribbed pattern all around the belly of the basin; appears to be resting on the ground and it is partly built into the back wall.
