Joost Limburg, of www.romanicoportugal.org, writes (e-mail of 16 December 2014 to BSI): "There's also a font/stoup [...] that sizewise is somewhere halfway, meaning big for a stoup and small for a font. Currently it's not used as a stoup, it just sits in an arcossólio inside the nave. There's plaster on the bottom in the middle, which makes me wonder if it has been a font in an earlier life?"
