Listed and illustrated also in Gavín (1977). Hemispherical mounted font of the 12th-13th century. The large basin is raised on a short circular pedestal ornamented with ball motif. Mestre i Godes (1999) describes a Latin cross, geometric motifs, circles and a five-point star as ornamentation on the sides of the basin, and hemispherical motifs on the sides of the base. Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ), where the date suggested is 12th-13th century. Noted in Amiell (2007). As in several other churches of this valley, the raised floors have buried the lower part of the base of the font.
