Baptismal font consisting of a plain octagonal basin with a tall tapering underbowl, resting directly on an octagonal plinth; the north face of the basin has a triangular depression with drilled holes that must have held the cover lock; the inner basin is also octagonal, not a common occurence in Spanish fonts, and has a central drain. [cf. Index entry for Bailo No. 1 for a Romanesque capital re-used as holy-water stoup in this church]
