Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. IV: 384): plian monolithic holy-water stoup; it is shaped like a round pedestal, the basin not differentiated from the rest; it appears very weathered, as if it had been exposed to the elements for a long time, though it is also possible that such was the original design.
