Described and illustrated in Antonio García Omedes' www.romanicoaragones.com : baptismal font consisting of a plain roughly hemispherical basin raised on a rectangular pedcestal base which still bears traces of a rope motif on it, though much eroded [NB: as this source points out, the orientation of the nave has been inverted, with the altar now in the west end, and the font occupying the place of the former altar in the eastern side].
