Baptismal font noted and illustrated by Pedro Lozano Huerta [https://www.facebook.com/groups/romanicodelnorte/posts/10160961744264801/] [accessed 9 November 2025]: "La pila es románica, con gallones, pie cilíndrico y base cuadrada". The stone font, like the church itself, is rather Gothic; it consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin with a ribbed pattern all around the sides; raised on a broad round-to-square pedestal base decorated with a roll moulding at the upper end, and a head on three of the corners [cf. infra]; the forth corner is decorated with a shell. There is no cover present but the upper rim of the basin retains a metal anchoring from an old cover. [NB: the "heads" on the base are actually demi-figures with raised arms, crudely rendered but discernible].
