García Omedes' web site http://www.webcindario.com/sobrarbe/99025-ArcusaPila.htm gives the baptismal font at Coscojuela de Fantova as being similar to the basin originally from Morcat but now located in the parish church of Arcusa [cf. Index entry for Arcusa No. 2]; the suggested dating in that same source is the 16th century, although the carving appears earlier. The church of Coscojuelo de Fantova is said to belong to the Aragonese Gothic [="gótico aragonés"].
