Described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XXIV: 371, 403): baptismal font dated tentatively between the late 11th and the early 13th century; the rather irregular basin is cylindrical and made of limestone, and is rasied on a base that does not belong to it; the basin sides are ornamented with two bands of encircled eight-point motifs, either stars or, more likely, floral motifs, which are quite common among Romanesque fonts in Catalonia and Navarra; the sides are badly worn in parts and it is impossible to number the motifs exactly.
