Baptismal font of unknown (?) origin now in the coutyard of the Palacio Episcopal / Museo Arqueológico; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a cylindrical stem and a square lower base; the basin appears rather plain, but has some sort of moulding and scotia or groove as decoration; there is evidence of cover staples in the upper rim surface, to which there has been considerable damage. [We are grateful to David de la Garma, of www.arteguias.com, for the photograph of this font]
