Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. VII: 296-297, 321) as a monolithic tub-shaped baptismal font probably of the 13th century and made of granite; the sides of the basin are ornamented with an inverted arcade of round arches, each arch containing a ball motif near the upper rim. The font shows no cover but has a metal insert on the upper basin side, typical of the fonts of this area for setting the lock of the cover.
