Noted in Fuenteseca Alvarez and González Gutiérrez (1998) as one of several Cistercian abbeys or monasteries with a baptismal font in the church. Illustrated in Ourense (1998): the hemispherical basin has a protruding rim and wide, twisting ribs with round arch-heads at the upper ends;the underbowl ends in three mouldings, the upper one flat; the base is a separate piece, a plain cylindrical stem with a splaying lower end that turns square at the bottom. There is damage to the upper rim of the basin, now repaired, that appears consistent with the removal of old cover hardware.
