Click to view
Lallov (1934) illustrates it as an example of Renaissance font. Noted and illustrated in Hallan-Gobson (2005). It is very much in the tradition of chalice-shaped fonts with broad concave ribbed pattern of the 16th century (?) found in Spain, themselves following the tradition of the large Romanesque fonts found all over Old Castile [NB: unless the font is a re-used one, it would probably date to ca. 1776, the year of the founding of the Mission].
