A tub-shaped baptismal font probably form the Romanesque period; it resembles the ones found on both sides of the border, but especially in the conflent area of southern France; the monolithic hemispherical basin appears totally plain and rests directly on the ground. [cf. Index entry for Arcusa No. 2 for an ornamented font believed to be originally from Morcat and now located in this church] [A faint and partial image of this font is visible in www.romanicoaragones.com]
