Font Notes:
Martín González (1977) dates this font to the 15th century. Bilbao (1996) and García Guinea (1998), probably more accurately, have it as Romanesque [G-G suggests a 12th-century dating]; it is ornamented with a band of romboid motif with encircled quatrefoils; the round base has flower and checkered motif. Noted in Martín Jiménez (2008) with 12th-century date.
