Described and illustrated in Gavin (1977- ). Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ) as a baptismal font which, due to its measurements, could also be identified as holy-water stoup ["pica baptismal romànica que, steses les seves petites mides, també podria identificar-se com a beneitera"]. It is a typical Vall d'Aran marble vessel with a small cylindrical basin ornamented with a vine all around; the round pedestal base has torsade pattern ornamentation and there is a square plinth under it. Noted in Amiell (2007) as a stoup raised on a pedestal base [NB: the baptismal font at this church is entered in this Index as "Arros No. 1"]
