Country Name: Spain

Location: Navarra, Comunidad Foral de Navarra

Directions to Site: Located in the valley and municipality of Uncity, merindad de Sangüesa, about 13 km from Pamplona

Century and Period: 13th century, Early Gothic

Font Notes: Click to view font notes

Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) and in Domeño (1992); Romanesque baptismal font; the cylindrical basin has its sides ornamented with a row of widely spaced ball motif inscribed in a scotia that stops at the back on the sides of a large pointed arch; the sides below have a blind arcade of round arches resting on capitals and double columns, except that one of the arches, now [December 2010] at the back of the font, facing north, is larger and definitely pointed, which must be an indication to the early-Gothic date of the font; plain hemispheric underbowl; the stem of the base is almost cylindrical pedestal, though slightly narrower at top, and the lower base is square, both plain, and both drastically cleaned (if not re-cut). Although of a simple design and decoration, this font is elegant and well-proportioned. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008), which suggests similarity with the font at Grez, also in Navarra. Simeón Hidalgo Valencia (e-mail of 2 May 2014 to BSI) suggets the existence of a workshop in the valleys of Izagaondoa, Lizoáin, Unciti and Urraúl Bajo, which would include the fonts at Artáiz, Cemboráin, Grez, Idoate, Lérruz, Najurieta, Reta, Zuazu, and others in the area. [cf. Index entry for Artaiz No. 2 for a holy-water stoup of undetermined age in this church]
