Noted in Manso Porto (2002). Stone baptismal font in the church of the former abbey; it consists of a large round tapering basin with a protruding lip moulding, the decoration carved on the sides including cherub heads, foliage motifs, the underbowl with a gadrooned pattern; raised on a short moulded circular stem and a small quadrangular plinth or lower base. The font cover is rather unique for this parts: tall, shaped like an acorn, with a turned finial.
