This font is in the Museo de Arte Religioso de Atienza, which was formerly the parish church of San Gil. Illustrated in Ruiz Montejo (1992); in Nieto Taberné (1994) and (2000). Noted and illustrated in Perez Arribas ([s.d.]), who suggests the font at Zarzuela de Jadraque as cognate. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009), quite similar to the fonts at San Bartolomé and Santísima Trinidad churches, also in Atienza [cf. Index entries for Atienza No…]; the fonts consist of a hemispherical basin decorated with a band of dog-tooth/nail-head motif around the upper rim, a ribbed pattern framed in a round arcade of round arches with bead-tape arch-heads of double columns; the short truncated square pyramid base has fluted pattern all around. Noted and illustrated in Herrera Casado (2014).
