Torre la Ribera / Tor-la-Ribera

Listed and illustrated in Gavín (1977, v. 2: A. Rib. 337) as an baptismal font originally from the old church. It has a hemispheric basin with an angle lip at the upper rim; the sides of the basin have four large semicircles around it, with a small scalloped pattern within them; the base is a cylindrical column with roll mouldings at top and bottom and the lower base, as well as the plinth, is square. There is no cover evident but there appear to be metal locks or staples on the basin side. The font iwas originally in the old church of Sant Abdó i Sant Senén; it is now in the new church, that is under the same advocation. [We are grateful to Montserrrat Estela, Barcelona, Spain, for her help with the particulars of this font]
