Click to view
Baptismal font beleived to be of the 15th century; it resembles earlier fonts at the Val d'Aran: a rather shallow basin ornamented with two bands of ornamentation at the upper and lower rims of the basin sides, and the ball motif on the underbasin and base, so often found in fonts of the southern Pyrénées, especially Huesca, Aran, etc. [NB: not to be mistaken with the town of Elcano in nearby Navarra, listed in the Index with an interesting font]
