Font Notes:
Listed and illustrated in Gavín (1977, v. 2: A. Rib. 275) as an old holy-water stoup of dark marble-like stone; it has rather an original ornamentation for this area in which the majority of the fonts and stoups are of an earlier time and limit themselves to very plain fare like ball motifs and ribbed patterns. The basin of theis stoup has ball motif at the upper rim as well but it then displays a face shield, wings and other motifs not quite discernibles in the dark illustration available. There is no cover evident.
