Baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period; the cauldron-shaped basin is plain except for a band of circle and cross (Greek) motifs around the upper side; the basin stands on a plain short circular base. There appears to be damage to the upper rim of the basin, consistent with the forceful removal of the iron staples of the old cover. [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]
