Noted and illustrated in Romanico Digital [www.romanicodigital.com/cedar/pila-bautismal-67892.aspx] [accessed 15 February 2017]. The baptismal font in this church is either a composite object, or its basin has been drastically re-cut; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin that has a wide scotia all around, raised on a pedestal base of clustered colonnettes, and a moulde lower base; the pedestal and the lower base appear original, and would fit the date of the building itself, the 13th or 14th century; the basin, as said above, is a much later piece or has been totally re-cut. Modern wooden cover with acorn finial.
