Tubilla del Lago / Touella

Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_TUBILLA_DEL_LAGO.pdf] [accessed 18 October 2022] reports a baptismal font originally from the "ermita de San Miguel Arcángel" [cf. infra], a font of Romanesque design but Gothic manufacture: "se trata de una tipología de raigambre románica pero de factura gótica, donde pervive el románico inercial [...] Mide 88 cm de alta por 95 cm de diámetro y 10 cm de embocadura. Tiene la copa troncocónica apoyada sobre una basa circular. La copa se decora con once arcos de medio punto, y dado que quedó un espacio intermedio en el que no encajaba el arco duodécimo se aprovechó para colocar un adorno que consta de dos largas líneas verticales rematadas en un semicírculo." Tub-shaped basin decorated with window-like arcade of eleven round arches on columns with capitals; the arcade does not cover the whole area of the basin sides, and there are unusual vertical lines with bent tops in the gap; moulded circular base; plain square lower base or plinth. No cover present. The entry for this church in [http://www.tubilladellago.com/iglesia.html] [accessed 18 October 2022] states that the font was originally in the ermita de San Marcos: "pila bautismal de estilo románico, que en un principio se hallaba en la ermita de San Marcos"; this provenance is also given in [https://web.archive.org/web/20191203225028/https://www.reservaduero.com/turismo/iglesia-principal-4-2] [accessed 18 October 2022] [NB: the former location may be an error in the Enclopedia, it mentions only one 'ermita' in this locality, that of San Marco]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed October 2022] mentions a Romanesque font in the parish church here, but says nothing of its provenance [cf. supra].
