Baptismal font probably of the date of the church itself, the early 13th century. On-site notes: the font is made of limestone; it consists of a tapering round tub slightly irregular in shape and plain except for a rope moulding around the lower rim and a roll moulding on the upper; it is raised on a cluster of eight short columns; damage to the upper rim side coincides with the position of one of the iron staples of the old cover; a flat wooden cover with metal reinforcement is probably 19th-century; the cover is locked and we could not gain access to the basin interior [NB: the church and part of the town itself were relocated stone by stone to a new site in the 20th century for the construction of the nearby dam] [cf. Index entry for Portomarin No. 2 for a very interesting holy-water stoup in the same church]
