The baptismal font in this church appears to be of a much later date than the original 12th-century church, a hemispheric basin with ribbed pattern raised on a round pedestal base decorated with torsade pattern. Noted and illustrated in Neto (2018) in a photograph from the SIPA [000082568] that shows the wall-mounted stoup from a re-cycled foliated capital on the left, and the ribbed baptismal fonty in a niche or alcove on the right..
