Click to view
Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on an inverted roughly-hemispherical base; the basin is carved with a number of symbols, motives and inscriptions; the inscriptions [full transcription not available] appear to include a date in Roman numerals [1444?] and a name of a donor or maker, as the word 'fecit' appears discernible in it; also on the sides are a geometric rosette in a circle, a cross made of inscribed Xs, more of the same in strings, etc.; on the upper rim of the basin are a number [3?] crudely-rendered cross-in-a-circle symbols. The font cover is round, flat and plain, and appears much battered but is probably modern.
