Baptismal font documented as "Pica baptismal de l'església de la Mare de Déu de les Posses" in the Fons Salvany archive of the Biblioteca de Catalunya [http://mdc.cbuc.cat/cdm/singleitem/collection/bcsalvany/id/6174/rec/66] [accessed 1 June 2013]. The font consists of a polygonal basin with high-relief carvings on the sides: a thistle-like plant, a crude shield with the date "I640" incised below it, etc.; raised on a round shaft and a splaying lower base, both plain. The font is very crudely executed, the work of a local mason no doubt.
