An illustration in Iglesias Costa (1985) shows a fine Romanesque font, quite similar to the one in Llert, also in Huesca, except that the lovely arcade which in the Llert font topped the ribs before the rim, is in the Monzón font a set of rosettes and other motifs in high relief. Like the one at Llert, a beautifuly executed font. The font cover is a semi-spherical dome of later date topped with an orbis and cross finial (description based on partial ill. in Iglesias Costa, 1985 ).
