Described and illustrated in Antonio García Omedes' www.romanicoaragones.com as a "plain but pleasant" bastimal font. The medieval font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a cylindrical basin and a quadrangular lower base with chamfered sides; the only decoration is an incised line all around the upper basin side. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/HUESCA_Yeste.pdf] [accessed 17 June 2025] reports: "a los pies del templo una sencilla pila bautismal con forma de copa."
