Baptismal font. In 1710 a vistation by the Arcipreste results in a command to provide a lock for the font to prevent desecration ["para que no se hagan indecencias"] [source: www.mazuela.com]. Neither date nor ornamentation are indicated in this source; the font may be of the Romanesque period, the date of the church itself.
