Ballidon (Derbyshire)

Font in All Saints Church, Ballidon, Derbyshire
(not far from Asbbourne)

A bizarre, reputedly-16th-century, quasi-Romanesque font,
obviously an 'apprentice piece' incorporating various hand-me-down motifs
(some of them upside-down)
including this somewhat squashed female/anal exhibitionist.
