A Romanesque baptismal font ornamented with a band of blind arches around the upper basin side. Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ); the basin is cylindrical with a jemispherical underbowl and mounted on a short round pedestal base that is probably not the original; it shows an iron staple [from the old cover] in the upper side, rather than the rim itself. Noted in Badia-Homs (2007).
