Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period with a cylindrical basin decorated with round arches. Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; monolithic tub-shaped basin, almost cylindrical in shape; the sides are divided in two registers, up and down, each with a roll moulding at the top and a number of round arches creating two blind arcades around the basin side; the lines of the arches are quite pronounced, in high relief and resembling the mouldings themselves.
