The hemispherical basin has fine ribs framed in round mouldings; above them a band of incisions resembling an arcade; the base is striated. The whole is finely carved in a dark stone, probably a local marble. The rim shows two indentations, probably remnants of the font covering (Iglesias Costa, 1985 ). Noted and illustrated in Antonio García Omedes [http://www.castillodeloarre.org/HU-Ribagorza/990373-Llert.htm] [accessed 26 July 2022]. A font and a holy-water stop are noted in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] [accessed 26 July 2022]: "se conservan tanto la pila bautismal como la de agua bendita." [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here]
