Click to view
The present font here is illustrated in Iglesias Costa (1985). No mention of a font in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XVI: 403), as nothing is known of the font of the original 11th-12th century church here. The present font consists of a round, almost cylindrical, basin with a slight rounded on the underbowl; the sides are ornamented with, from the top down, a moulding, a row of ball motif, a set of round arch-heads with a three-ball ending at the lower tips, and a pattern of broad ribs that wrap around the underbowl [NB: with the exception of the ribs, it resembles the ornamentation on the font at Ozcoidi, in Navarra]. The base is a plain cylinder that rests directly on the ground. No cover present.
