view of church exterior - west portal

Scene Description: Source caption: "Iglesia de La Coruña de finales del siglo XIII muy modificada por sucesivas obras. Esta portada con una escena de la adoración de los Reyes Magos o Epifanía está en el lado oeste. Es interesante destacar que muro donde se integra es del siglo XIX, construido para alargar la nave. La portada se movió a esta nueva ubicación donde podemos verla ahora."

Century and Period: 14th - 15th century, Medieval
Church Notes: 12thC church; re-built mid-20thC
A baptismal font the iconography of which is said to be medieval. Reported dated by Murguía to the 15th century and to an earlier date by Alvaro de las Casas [source: web site of El Callejero, Coruña, Spain]. Bilbao (1996: 151 fn16) suggests the scene of Samson and the lion may be represented on it. The present font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a variety of motifs (4-point star?, six-petal flower, etc.) all around; the upper sides have parallel mouldings all around; the underbowl has a convex ribbing pattern; raised on a square pedestal with mouldings at both ends; probably late-Medieval. No cover present. [NB: unable to corroborate Bilbao's claim above, as we do not have access to all the sides of the basin at present].
