Described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XXI: 92, 394): holy-water stoup probably of the late 12th or early 13th century, Romanesque period; the basin is a rather crude work made of sandstone and ornamented with a blind arcade that is now practically eroded due to its exposure to te elements; it is located before the entrance, upside down, on top of a column; in the interior there appears to be a flower motif but it is probably a later addition [cf. Index entries for Siurana Nos. 1 & 2 for two other Romanesque "piques" in this same church.
