One of four disused baptismal fonts kept in a locked 'corral' at the west end of the San Martín church, in Capella. This one consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, and a ribbed pattern all around the underbowl. No cover present, nor are there any signs of cover hardware in the upper rim; on an unrelated pedestal base.
