Baptismal font of stone consisting of a tall tapring basin on a squat circular basel busily decorated with with floral, foliage and other motifs: "Fonts baptismaux en pierre difficiles à dater, dont la particularité réside dans les feuilles stylisées qui ornent le pourtour de la cuve et le dessus du pied des fonts, lui-même orné de feuilles."
