Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Iglesias Costa (1985) as a very crudely carved early font now cemented to a corner. The basin appears to have some signs incised or scratched on its surface, but they could have been done later; these are identified in Monumentalnet https://www.monumentalnet.org/monumento.php?r=HU-182000200-PLA-IGL-STO-EST&n=Iglesia+de+San+Esteban] [accessed 25 February 2025] as incisions on the basin and two shields on the base ["pila bautismal, formada por un gran vaso circular con grabados y un pie con dos escudos"].
