A hemispherical basin, probably from a Romanesque baptismal font, lies now in the garden serving as a flower-pot; it appears to be similar to other such fonts in the area (e.g.: Loizu). [Our gratitude to Javier Torrens, Pamplona, Spain, for bringing this font to our attention and for the image thereof]
