15th-century baptismal font of glazed earthenware located now [October 2006] in the Casa-Palacio Marques de las Torres, also known as Palacio de los Quintanillas [source: www.portalmw.com/viajes/pueblos/anadlucia/carmona.php] [accessed 9 October 2006] [NB: this 'palacio' is located near the church of Santa Maria la Mayor, a 15th-century church -- could the font be originally from it? or from one of the other churches of the period in this town?]
