INFORMATION

FontID: 07171BAE
Church/Chapel: Iglesia Catedral
Country Name: Spain
Location: Jaen, Andalucía
Directions to Site: Located 40 km NE of Jaén capital
Font Location in Church: In the Capilla de los Viedmas o de Las Animas
Century and Period: 14th century, Medieval
Baptismal font located in the Capilla de los Viedmas, also known as Capilla de las Animas [source: www.baeza.net/patri/monumentos/catedral.htm]. The font is of the type common in the Romanesque period in the area: large hemispherical, almost cylindrical basin, decorated with large ribbed pattern on most of the sides and underbowl, although the upper basin sides has a stylised arcade of round intersecting arches below the moulding of the rim; the arcade appears too stylised for the Romanesque period; the basin is raised on a squat base, cylindrical and decorated with fluted pattern that matches the ribbing of the underbowl. [We are grateful to David de la Garma Ramírez, of www.arteguias.com, for the photograph of this font]. [NB: there is a noteworthy 7th-century tetrafoil-shaped fountain in this town -unconfirmed and location unknown- that was apparently used by the poet Federico Garcia Lorca in a self-baptism "ceremony"]
