Solans Sant Miquel / Santa Llúcia de la Jonquera

Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ) as a monolithic baptismal font probably of the 12th or 13th century found abandoned in the field outside the church in the early 1980s; the cauldron-shaped unmounted basin is plain and now badly damaged around the upper rim and sides; there is no base proper, although the underbowl ends in a ring moulding that serves as base; when the basin was brought back into the church, the surface of the stone was refinished, althering thus the original surface. Badia-Homs (2007) notes a series of Romanesque fonts (Carbonils, la Cirera, Sant Julià dels Torts and Sant Miquel de Solans) in the Empordà region that are monolithic, plain, small and base-less. Described and illustrated in Art Medieval [https://www.artmedieval.net/Santa Llucia de la Jonquera.htm] [accessed 31 May 2025]: "En l'interior del temple es conserva l'antiga pica baptismal. Malauradament, quan es va restaurar el temple, es va voler "netejar" la pica, doncs havia estat pintada al llarg dels segles. En aquest procés es va repicar de nou el seu exterior, sense adonar-se que també s'estaven eliminant alguns elements gravats que havien quedat ocults per les capes de pintura."
