Plain bucket-shaped baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period; it is mounted on short cylindrical base, also plain and a low square plinth [NB: the basin and round base appear to be one piece]. One of the iron staples of the old cover -on the right- is still in the upper rim; the other -on the left- has been removed and the rim has suffered damage as a result. [We are grateful to José L. Estalayo Demier [http://geocities.com/tremaya1] for bringing this font to our attention and for the image of the same]
