Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Aragón (Zaragoza, vol. 1, 2010) as a Romanesque baptismal font in this former parish church [now a museum]. Noted and illustrated in García Omedes [http://www.arquivoltas.com/5-Zaragoza/990490-LuesiaEsteban02.htm]. The font consists of a blain hemispherical basin raised on a round moulded pedestal base with ball motif (?) at the lower end, and a round modern plinth. The upper rim of the basin is damaged, and the whole font appears very weathered.
