Listed and illustrated in Gavín (1977, v. 2: A. Rib. 262) as a Romanesque baptismal font in the church of Sant Caprás, Denui, in the municipality of Laspaules [Gavin has Nerill]. It is a rather crude work; the rounded basin has a low-relief blind arcade ornamenting the basin sides; the area where the basin meets the short cylindrical base appears slightly splayed, but this may very well be just the modern cement that has been applied to the joint. [We are grateful to Montserrat Estela, Barcelona, Spain, for her help with the particulars of this font]
