Baptismal font of stone consisting of an octagonal basin decorated with late-Gothic motifs, raised on an octagonal pedestal base with a blind arcade of trefoiled arches; the lower base octagonal and plain. The basin appears neo-Gothic, probably a 19th-century replacement, while the base is likely original. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with a handle; modern.
