Basin of a Romanesque font now re-cut and mounted on a much later base; the re-cutting appears to have removed part of the lower side of the basin, and provided it with a rounded underbowl instead; the sides of the basin are decorated with well-executed arcade of intersecting round arches, the arch itself decorated with beaded tape, the columnar supports double and provided with capitals. It is likely that the original font was bucket- or tub-shaped without a base or with a very short one.
