Illustrated in Iglesias Costa (1985: v.I/3, p. 143-147). Described and illustrated in Antonio García-Omedes' www.romanicoaragones.com: the tall but rather narrow basin has the sides totally covered with ribs which still show polychromy; the ribs reach all the way to the upper rim moulding and each rib has a number of painted faces/heads on it (mostly two); the base is a square striated pedestal which has been rounded at the edges; square trapezoidal plinth [NB: García-Omedes suggests the heads could be those of the souls saved by baptism in the fonty] [We are garteful to Antonio García-Omedes of www.romanicoaragones.co for his information on and images of this font]
