Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period with claws on the lower base. [NB: the font is from the previous church, replaced by the current 18th-century building]. Gaya Nuño (1946) notes its similarity with the font at nearby Paones [cf. Index entry] , though he deems the Paones font as a better one. The bucket-shaped basin is decorated with flat ribs; the round-to-square lower base has a roll moulding at the neck or upper end, andclaws below.
