What it is the thing called that pours the water onto the child during a catholic baptism?

The object used to pour water onto a child during a Catholic baptism is called a "laving bowl" or "baptismal font." The priest typically uses a small container or shell, known as a "baptismal shell" or "aspergillum," to pour the water over the child's head while reciting the baptismal formula. This ritual symbolizes the cleansing of sin and the child's initiation into the Christian faith.
