Both the font and holy-water stoup here are noted in the entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/LUGO_Arcos_Antas_de_Ulla.pdf] [accessed 1 August 2022]: "A los pies de la nave se conservan la pila bautismal y otra de agua bendita de época medieval." The font itself is described and illustrated in Alberto García Roldán, in Galicia pueblo a pueblo [https://galiciapuebloapueblo.blogspot.com/2019/02/santa-maria-de-arcos-antas-de-ulla.html#ANCLA8] [accessed 1 August 2022]: "La PILA BAUTISMAL, de liso perímetro circular sobre nacela decorada con bastantes grandes bolas, se asentaba en su origen en una también circular base de unos doce centímetros de altura. Andado el tiempo, para darle la altura conveniente y adaptarla al nuevo rito de solo infusión, se le añadió esa nueva pieza cilíndrica, que aún ahora continua sirviéndole de soporte. Su estructura original, especialmente esa nacela con bolas, nos lleva al inicio de un bajo medievo. Debería corresponderse con la fecha de construcción de la iglesia", which is estimated in the same souce ca. 1180. The baptismal font here consists of a roughly cylindrical basin the only decoration on which is a row of ball motif all around the underbowl chamfer; raised on a plain and round pedestal base; the basin has been whitewashed. The square, flat and plain wooden cover appears weathered; not known if it is ancient.
