view of church exterior - southeast view

Scene Description: Source caption: "Iglesia de Santa María en Cillamayor (Palencia, Castilla y León). El grueso del edificio, aunque con alguna modificación posterior, corresponde a época románica. No obstante, existe un fragmento de muro en el lienzo Norte, que no corresponde ni con la tipología románica del edificio ni con el despiece que le rodea. Desconocemos su origen, pero podemos datarlo entre un prerrománico tardío y un románico incipiente. De época propiamente románica va a datar la construcción de la cabecera del edificio. Como es habitual, siempre se comienza por esta parte de las iglesias, puesto que una vez concluida, se puede consagrar y comenzar ya a oficiar la misa en ella. Por su tipología podemos encuadrarla alrededor de mediados del siglo XII."

Described in Lojendio & Rodríguez (1985); also in García Guinea (1990). Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996) and in García Guinea (1998); the latter states that he saw the font personally in its original location at Cillamayor in the 1950s: baptismal font of the late Romanesque period [G-G (ibid.) suggests the late 13th century]; the roughly hemispherical basin [almost bucket-shaped] is ribbed on the inside; it has eight crosses at the rim; the outer sides have a male figure -identified as a deacon with a sprinkler (aspergillum) - and a large cruciform (?) interlace -identified as a labyrinth, symbol of a celestial Jerusalem [both Bilbao and G-G]; there is also an inscription in Spanish which identifies the master carver of the font as Pedro de Cilla and helped with the dating of the font (idem). Bilbao (ibid.) gives the fonts at Renedo de Valdavia and Valdeande, in Burgos province, as two other fonts having the scene of the consecration of the font/waters [NB: for a superb Italian example cf. Index entry for Vicofertile]. There is considerable damage to the upper rim and upper basin side. Noted in Martín Jiménez (2008). [NB: a local source, Francisco José García Gómez, notified BSI [e-mail of 2 October 2015] that the Cillamayor font was no longer at the Castillo de Ampudia, and had been returned to the parish church whence it originated -- NB: the font may have been returned to its church when the latter was renovated in 2006]. The Noticias del Gobierno Autonómico [www.comunicacion.jcyl.es/web/jcyl/Comunicacion/es/Plantilla100Detalle/1281372051501/_/1284293037387/Comunicacion] [accessed 4 October 2015] announced the oficial return of the old font to the church on 14 November 2013]: "La Pila bautismal de Cillamayor, de época medieval y vendida a particulares en los años 60, se recupera ahora para su reubicación originaria. La recuperación de esta valiosa pieza se enmarca dentro de los objetivos del Plan Románico Norte emprendido por la Consejería de Cultura y Turismo, pues permite cerrar la intervención integral que se ha realizado en la Iglesia de Santa María la Real de Cillamayor, reubicando la pila en su contexto y lugar original." Similarly, with an illustration of the moment: " in Romanico Norte [www.romaniconorte.org/es/contenido/index.asp?iddoc=5523] [accessed 4 October 2015].
