Mogarraz No. 1

Illustrated in Calama Rosellon (2007): a large tub-shaped stone vessel now serving as water fountain ["Fuente del Humilladero"] in the exterior of the Ermita del Humilladero [inage source: http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/dllorentes/Imagen.htm] [accessed 30 June 2008]. [NB: the shape and size of the basin is compatible with that of medieval Castillian fonts, but it is not known whether or not this object was ever used as a baptismal font; it would not have been suitable to a small rural chapel such as this 15th-century Ermita -- or, was this the font from the old church noted in 'Mogarraz Conjunto histórico' [http://www.conjuntoshistoricos.com/chsal/activos/otros/chsal_bcj_027_260.pdf] [accessed 3 June 2008]: "En el lugar de su actual iglesia existió otra, más antigua, de época medieval, advocada a Santa María del Arenal. De ella se decía a comienzos del siglo XVII que estaba ''buena, con su capilla maior bien enmaderada y su tribuna y la sacristía devajo de altar maior''.]
