One of two fonts or large stoups located outside the Igreja de Santiago; the larger and more decorated one is chalice-shaped and consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a moulding at the upper rim, and a ribbed pattern below; moulded at the centre ring, and moulded again on the conical lower base; on a short square plinth. It appears to have been exposed to the elements for a long time and is covered in lichens; it is probably not medieval, but of a later date
