Bucket-shaped baptismal font of the Romanesque period of a type not uncommon in this province; the basin is decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, below which is a band with fish or eye-like motifs at irregular spaces [the front, for instance, shows three grouped preceded and ended with a square motif, with a lone one to the left]; the upper surface of the rim shows the cover anchors and the place where one of them was broken off. The squat base is circular, slightly wider.
