Ramón Escobar Hervás' Maravillas Ocultas de España [http://maravillasdeespana.blogspot.ca/2017/09/monasterios-de-pontevedrasta-m-de.html] [accessed 4 May 2018], notes and illustrates three objects in this church: a baptismal font and two holy-water stoups, the stoups being composite objects of materials from the original disappeared cloister of the 12th-century monastery. This stoup consists of a rectangular basin with tapering sides, raised on a cylindrical column with fluted sides; one of the narrower sides of the basin shows two circles cerved in it; the upper end of the basin is moulded.
