Composite baptismal font; the bucket-shaped basin appears Romanesque and probably was totally plain, since the Latin cross carved on its front side is probably a later carving [the visible erosion that has affected the stone appears not to have altered the carving]. The base, a pedestal made of two cylindrical blocks attached with cement is either modern or reused from another object, perhaps a column. [We are grateful to Juan Antonio Olañeta, of Barcelona, Spain, for the image and for bringing this font to our attention]
