Listed by Garma Ramírez (1998) as a noteworthy baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Listed also as a Romanesque font in Santamaria (1988). Large roughly hemispherical basin with a pattern of broad ribs all around; in the spandrels formed by the rib upper ends, are human heads, most of which are too damaged for identification; these heads are not attached to bodies proper, but they have arris-like prolongations between the ribs below; the short stem is round and carved with a lovely foliage pattern between a rope moulding at the top, and the mouldings below. The upper rim has two metal staples at opposite ends; the inner rim is carved in a rope motif all around, but the outer one is plain. The wooden cover is flat and plain; modern..
