Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round pedestal base; the sides of the basin are decorated with a broad flat moulding below the upper rim, and a band of symbols (crosses, chalices, etc.) all around; the undernowl has a flat ribbed pattern on it; the short pedestal base appears plain. The sides of the basin show considerable damage. The wooden cover is flat and round, a modern crude one.
