Described in Mestre i Godes (1999: 143); described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. VI: 130): baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period, likely a composite piece; the basin is roughly bucket-shaped, the sides slightly rounded, and ornamented with a roll moulding at either end, top and bottom; in between appear, towards the lower part, four round arches, each containing a Latin cross; the pedestal base, clearly made of a different stone, is cylindrical with what appears as leaf ornamentation on the upper part and two parallel roll mouldings towards the middle. [cf. Index entry for Tavernoles No. 2 for another font in this same church]
