Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ): bucket-shaped basin, plain except for a flat moulding at each end, top and bottom; the base is square and has remains of polychromy (ochre and black), as well as some motifs in high-relief: one side has four tiny shield-like motifs; another has foliage-like motrifs, etc.; the lower end has a knob motif at each angle. Of difficult dating, especially if those motifs are shields, though it otherwise follows medieval patterns. Serra Sanmiquel (2007) suggests the date 1160, the same year in which the original church was renovated.
