Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol.

The hemispherical basin was part-built into the wall of the church; its underbowl was decorated with a stylised ribbed motif, each rib forming a pattern of concentric arches or frames; the stem of the base was cylindrical and the lower base was roughly round with a pattern, obviously of a different date than the basin.
