Baptismal font of atone consisting of a roughly-hemispherical basin decorated with a ribbed pattern all around, raised on a short and plain round base; there is no cover present but there is damage to the upper rim of the basin where an earlier anchoring for the cover split the stone. In the same enclosure where the font is kept is another stone object that looks like a holy-water stoup: a small round basin on a square pedestal base.
