view of font and canopy, baldachin in context

Scene Description: Source caption: "La vasca di pietra è sormontata da baldacchino, sostenuto da tre mensole e da una colonna. Gli elementi sono originali; ma si ha l'impressione che vi sia stato un adattamento posteriore. Probabilmente in origine il baldacchino copriva l'altare maggiore, di tipo basilicale, mentre la vasca, più spostata all'angolo, lasciava libero il passaggio dalla porticina esterna, detta « porta pagana".'"

Enlart (1902) mentions the occasional survival of the ciborium and cites this 1291 Gothic font at Amaseno as an example. Described and illustrated by Fabio Marzi [http://www.amasenoonline.com/smaria.htm] [accessed 28 July 2023] who suggests that the baldaquin may originally have covered the maian altar, and only later placed above the font ["Fonte Battesimale. E' situato all'inizio della navata sinistra. La vasca di pietra è sormontata da baldacchino, sostenuto da tre mensole e da una colonna. Gli elementi sono originali; ma si ha l'impressione che vi sia stato un adattamento posteriore. Probabilmente in origine il baldacchino copriva l'altare maggiore, di tipo basilicale, mentre la vasca, più spostata all'angolo, lasciava libero il passaggio dalla porticina esterna, detta « porta pagana".'
