Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin, plain and somewhat irregular, with considerable damage to the upper rim, especially the side against the corner; raised on a plain cylindrical stem; the basdin upper rim appears to have the remains of a metal staple in the upper rim; one of the sides of the basin has a vertical cut a few inches wide; not known what its purpose may have been. The font is located against a corner of the nave, at the west end. [cf. Index entry for Olivan No. 2 for a stoup near the doorway of this church] [NB: the original Mozarabic church is said to date from the 10th century, but we have no information on its font]
