Baptismal font noted and illustrated by Alberto García Roldán in Galicia Pueblo a Pueblo [https://galiciapuebloapueblo.blogspot.com/2019/05/santaia-de-chamin-arteixo.html] [accessed 6 October 2019]; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin that has a large notch at the back of the upper rim, probably where the hardware of an old cover was anchored; there is a braid motif all around the basin side, and some additional geometric motifs (?) on the underbowl; the round pedestal base appears plain, any motifs there may have been on it eroded now. No cover present.
