Baptismal font probably of the 15th century ornamented in the "plateresco" [=silversmith] Spanish style of the Renaissance; the font consists of a large roughly hemispherical basin decorated with an assortment of motifs and patterns ina busy tracery that covers the whole surface of the font; occasionally a symbol (cross) will appear surrounded and/or covered in other motifs and patterns; the moulded squat base appears quadrangular and is ornamented with ball motif. Davies (1962) refers to a "large round fonts on very small feet" as being common ca. 1200, and gives. among others, the one at Cevico Navero, as an example of these, but his dating is way off the mark in this case [cf. Index entry for Cevico Navero No. 2 for a holy-water stoup in the same style in this same church]
