Revelillas

Described and illustrated in García Guinea (1979) and (1996). Bilbao (1996) suggests this font may be from the same workshop as the font at Crespos (Burgos prov.), and the fonts at Villaescusa de Ebro [cf. Index entry for San Martin de Elines No. 2], Quintanilla de An, Ruijas and Espinosa de Bricia (Santander prov.)
