Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XIX: 107, 528): holy-water stoup located in the porch, at the entrance of the rectory; it consists of two pieces: the basin is roughly cylindrical, ornamented with a Latin cross between two horizontal roll mouldings; also between the mouldings are several round and oval head-like shapes devoid of any distinguishable marks; the base is a three-volume column, square at both ends but rounded with mouldings at various parts; the group is obviously a composite, the basin itself probably recycled from an earlier life as architectural ornament, perhaps a capital or a column. as the source suggests. This same source does not suggest a dating for the stoup.
