Baptismal font of a type common in the area, consisting of a large hemispherical basin raised on a squat pedestal base; the sides of the basin are decorated with scroll-like motifs, and with a triple moulding at the upper rim and side. The font appears to have been built into the wall of the sacristy, but it is not clear whether that was the original location of the font inside the church or not. [NB: the village of Arreu and the parish church are both now [2006] abandoned]
