Baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period, a monolithic hemispheric basin decorated with a flat moulding at the upper basin side and with a pattern of broad ribs all around the sides of the basin and underbowl; short round base. A recent [ca. 2000?] photograph shows the basin covered with a flat plain wooden cover. It is a crude work, in a style that lasted for centuries in central Spain, and therefore of doubtful dating .
