Two fonts and a stoup are mentioned in Antonio Vidal Neira's 15 July 2014 article on this church [https://historiadeza.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/santa-maria-de-donramiro/] [accessed 5 May 2018]: "En el atrio o patio de acceso al templo, en ambas esquinas, hay dos interesantísimas pilas bautismales de origen románico, de gran valor arqueológico, casi abandonadas y que deberían conservarse en un lugar más acorde con su valor histórico. La más interesante es la que está situada en el atrio entrando en el lado izquierdo, es una copa granítica cilíndrica de grandes dimensiones, tiene casi un metro de diámetro en la boca. Ha sufrido una gran erosión, pero en la panza aun se pueden apreciar unos relieves muy desgastados: se trata de una cenefa de grandes hojas nervadas dispuestas en paralelo unas a otras que por su perfil parecen hojas de roble." Noted and illustrated in Galicia Maxica [www.galiciamaxica.eu/galicia/pontevedra/iglesiaramiro/] [accessed 5 May 2018] also as Romanesque. One of them is a large hemispherical basin of granite said to be the baptismal font of the church here [cf. supra]; the sides are decorated with large oak leaf motif. The object is now outside the church and will eventually be destroyed or stolen.
