Font Notes:
Catalogued and illustrated in La chiesa di Jesi (2000: 290) as item 361: stone holy-water stoup of the 16th century consisting of a very shallow round basin raised on a slender stem girdled in the middle by a rng moulding and a quadrangular multi-part base. The narrow side of the basin is framed between two thin flat mouldings and has a running inscription, while the underbowl has ribbed pattern all around. The stem of the base is raised on a square lower base that has a rose motif on the front. A lower volume, also quadrangular, has what appears to be foliage motif at the corners. [cf. Index entry for Poggio Cupro No. 1 for a baptismal font of similar design in this church].
