Described and illustrated in Alvarez Martínez (1999: 265) as one in a group of pedestal fonts with a square lower base, with either hemispherical or conical shaped basins of the 12th-13th century; the ornamentation consists usually of a blind arcade of Romanesque arches. This font has a hemispherical basin ornamented with two thin mouldings, one at the upper rim, the other marking the beginning of the underbowl; the underbowl is decorated with a pattern of shallow concave ribs that could be read as an arcade.
