Font Notes:
Celina Llarás Usón, in her introductory essay on "L'escultura monumental" of the Pallars region, in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XV: 99) refers to a holy-water stoup at Sant Andreu de Baén excluded from study for not being considered Romanesque [NB: it may belong to the 17th century, the period of some major renovations in this church -- we have no information on the baptismal font here]
