Described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XXV: 59, 192) as a baptismal font made of granite; the carving on its sides is badly worn; regarding its dating one source (p. 59) describes the font as 'very unlikely to belong to the Romanesque period' ["la seva pertinença a l'època romànica és poc probable"], while the other source (p. 192) states that it 'could be dated to the Romanesque period' ["podria datar d'època romànica"]. The tub-shaped basin is badly damaged, a large part of the back (facing the northwest corner of the nave) missing; it rests directly on the ground, although there appears to be a low modern cement(?) circle around it. No cover present.
