INFORMATION

FontID: 00478ELC
Church/Chapel: Iglesia Parroquial de la Purificación
Church Patron Saints: The Purification of St. Mary
Church Location: Calle del Rosario, 14, 31486 Elcano, Navarra, Spain -- Tel.: +34 948 27 84 07
Country Name: Spain
Location: Navarra, Comunidad Foral de Navarra
Directions to Site: Located off the NA-2374, in the municipality and valley of Egüés, 10 km E of Pamplona
Ecclesiastic Region: Diocesis de Pamplona
Historical Region: Merindad de Sangüesa
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, beneath the W gallery, in a niche closed with a wooden gate
Century and Period: 12th - 13th century [basin only], Medieval [composite]
Cognate Fonts: The basin is similar, though not identical, to those of the fonts at Eransus and Ardanaz de Egüés, both in Navarra
Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) and in Domeño (1992). The upper sides of the basin have convex ribbed motif, each rib ending on a carved face underneath, as if the ribs were hats to the faces; under the faces, the ribbing changes to concave on the underbowl (the same motif which ornaments the font appears on capitals of the nave of the church). The upper part of the base has four crouching rather grotesque figures; Domeño [cf. supra] suggests it may have been an old capital reused here. The stem of the base and the lower base are octagonal, quite unremarkable and probably not originally part of the font either. Bilbao (1996) identifies the grotesque figures on the base as atlantes. Noted in García de Castro Valdés ([s.d.] 1998?) On-site notes: the inside of the basin well appears divided by a vertical partition, clearly not original.
