INFORMATION

FontID: 04907RIN
Country Name: Spain
Location: Huesca, Aragón
Directions to Site: Located on the N-260, 14 km E of Castejón de Sos
Font Location in Church: This could be a font located now in a nearby church-museum in Laspaules
Century and Period: 12th - 13th century, Romanesque
Listed and illustrated in Gavín (1977, v. 2: A. Rib. 268) as a Romanesque baptismal font in the church of Sant Andreu in Rins de Vilarrué, in the municipality of Laspaules/Les Paüls. It is a rather crude work; the quasi-cylindrical basin has a high-relief scalloped pattern ornamenting the basin sides; the base is partly hidden in the illustration but appears to be round and plain. Plain flat wooden cover. [Montserrat Estela, Barcelona, Spain, informs us -May 2002- that the ruins of the fortified chapel is all that is left now and that there is no church of Sant Andreu in Rins de Vilarrue; the font may have been moved to nearby Laspaules]
