[NB: THIS ENTRY MAY BE AN ERROR AND CORRESPOND TO BUTRERA BURGOS -- TO BE RESOLVED] Goblet-shaped baptismal font completly devoid of decoration except for a thin groove on the upper basin side, right under the rim; the upper rim appears damaged where one of the staples of the old cover has been forcefuly removed, whereas another staple remains; there is also significant damage to the lower rim; the basin stands on a squat lower base that is round at the top to match the bottom of the underbowl but the rest appears polygonal, now broken.[DESCRIPTION BASED ON A PHOTOGRAPH RECEIVED FROM Juan Antonio Olaneta in 2005 -- unable to locate the photograph 1050905008]
