Illustrated in Gavín (1977, v. 2: B. Rib. 40): Romanesque (?) baptismal font located beneath the west gallery of the church; large basin with ribbed pattern on its side and underbowl; there is also some pattern on the upper basin sides but the details are not discernible in this illustration; the base appears to be square, although a bench blocks the view. It is not clear whether or not the wooden structure which appears to be on the font is the actual cover (or an optical effect from an object located behind it)
