Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , v. XIII: 401) as a composite wall-mounted stoup made up of two bases of columns, now upside-down; the upper one is a pyramidal block now hollowed and serving as the basin; the lower one is ornamented with a torus-scotia-torus combination serving as the base. The entry for this church in Romanico Digital [www.romanicodigital.com/el-romanico/imagenes-romanico/fachada-norte-y-campanario-sant-esteue-tredos] [accessed 14 August 2021] notes: "Pila benditera. La actual pila benditera se encuentra a mano derecha de la puerta de entrada, encastada en la propia jamba y se compone de dos partes. La superior funciona como cubeta, de 23 cm de altura, con forma de pirámide invertida y rematada por una especie de plinto, en la parte superior. La inferior (29 cm) actúa como soporte –a pesar de hallarse encastada– y resulta de la reutilización de una basa de columna, formada por un plinto y dos toros.
