Font Notes:
Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/HUESCA_Ena.pdf] [accessed 31 July 2022] as an interesting baptismal font: "A los pies de la nave, bajo el coro, se halla una curiosa pila bautismal formada por un sencillo pie cilíndrico sobre el que apoya una copa rectangular con sus bordes y ángulos decorados con una moldura de bocel". Described and illustrated in Antonio García Omedes' entry for Ena [www.romanicoaragones.com/0-Jacetania/56-Canias.htm] [accessed 25 June 2020]: "a los pies al lado norte una bella pila bautismal rectangular con sus bordes levemente decorados mediante acanaladuras y redondeo de sus ángulos [...] Descansa sobre un grueso pie cilíndrico con su correspondiente base. Hasta hace poco tiempo estaba empotrada y semioculta por un muro y mosen Benito i.e., Benito Solana, the parish priest] la dejó exenta. Es del estilo de la que hay en la localidad de Navasa y que en su día sirvió de abrevadero en la plaza pública." Medieval baptismal font consisting of a rectangular basin ornamented with incised rectangles following the contour of the perimeters, about 2 inches in, and a base with a cylindrical stem raised on a quadrangular lower base; two of the sides of the latter are chamfered. A wooden piece that might be the font cover can be seen behind the font. The font had been partially built into the wall but was recently freed and set on its own by the parish priest, mosen Benito Solana, according to the same source.
