Font Notes:
Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 29 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Martín de Sendadiano. Vista frontal de una pila bautismal medieval. La copa es lisa y se apea en un pie cilíndrico con dos molduras, una en lo alto y otra en lo bajo de su fuste. La basa es cuadrada y muestra ensanchamientos planos, superpuestos a sus cuatro ángulos a modo de garras" [actually lanceolated leaves]. Described in Bilbao (1994) as a plain baptismal font of the medieval period; the hemispherical basin is raised on a cylindrical pedestal; all ornamentation is restricted to the lower base: round moulding at the top over another broader moulding, and a square bottom volume; the angles of the 2nd volume are ornamented with tongue-shaped motifs. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in López de Guereñu. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/alava_SENDADIANO.pdf] [accessed 29 July 2024] describes the font: "La iglesia conserva una sencilla pila bautismal, libre de decoración en todas sus partes, lo que dificulta en gran manera su datación cronológica. Consta de copa lisa sobre pie cilíndrico con dos molduras, una en la parte superior y otra en la inferior del fuste. La basa, cuadrada, muestra ensanchamientos planos, superpuestos a sus cuatro ángulos a modo de garras."
