Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a conical base; both the basin and the base are fully decorated but the stone is badly eroded and most of the motifs are easily discernible, other than an arcade of round or horseshoe arches on the basin side. The upper rim is also damaged but still retains two metal staples from the cover anchorings. No cover present.
