Monolithic baptismal font; the bucket-shaped basin is decorated with rib-like flat vertical mouldings; in one of the sides, right below the upper rim, a rectangular hollow a few inches wide has been carved out, probably for the original cover lock [such examples are more common in the early fonts of the eastern Pyrenees]; the inside of the basin is also circular; the upper rim shows some damage consistent with the position of cover staples. One od the sides of the font appears to have traces of red paint.
