Baptismal font of the former Franciscan convent; illustrated in www.edomexico.gob.mx, the roughly hemispherical font appears located now in the exterior of the building; the shape of the basin, with a few long and thin ribs is rather unusual, certainly very different from most of the Mexican fonts recorded so far [2006] in this Index.
