Country Name: Mexico

Century and Period: 16th century(late), Tequitqui
Described and illustrated in Duverger (2003: 128, 131): baptismal font of the 16th century made of stone; the basin is hemispherical with straight upper sides decorated with four-petal roses -which Duverger (ibid.: 131) identifies with the Ausgustinian missionaries who had the font made- and large foliage motifs around a number of shield-shaped motifs, each with a different symbol: one them is a realistically-rendered human heart crossed by two arrows. The base has two parts: the upper is hemispherical too, but inverted and heavily recorated with large leaves; a moulding separates it from a lower volume that is cylindrical and appears totally plain.
