Described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. IX: 597) as the smaller of two "piques" [NB: Catalan uses the word "pica" for both fonts and stoups, defining it further as "pica baptismal" or "pica beneitera" (or, simply, "beneitera") respectively] housed in this church, both plain. This one, consisting of a round basin on a cylindrical base, both plain, is probably a holy-water stoup, since the larger one, located in the south apsidiole, is a typical baptismal font of the area.
