Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/48951] [accessed 7 August 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de Santa María de los Reyes de Laguardia [...] la taza presenta abundante decoración y destaca un relieve representando el Bautismo de Cristo". Described in Arriola Loyola (1996) as a baptismal font of the 16th century in the Plateresco [Spanish Renaissance] style. Described in Bilbao (1994) as a baptismal font of the 15th-16th century with ornamentation of grotesque ["grutesco"] motifs; later in the same source (ibid.), Bilbao dates the two fonts at Laguardia to the 14th century ["su temprana cronología, el siglo XIV"] , although, in her later work (1996) dates this font and the one at San Juan, also in Laguardia, to the 16th century ["ambas de la primera mitad del siglio XVI"]; in the same note Bilbao states that the episcopal coat of arms establishes a relationship with the sponsor of the font [the same shield appears on the the font at San Juan, in the same town]. One of the scenes on the basin is the Baptism of Christ.
