Gestoso y Pérez (1919) notes and illustrates a ceramic font originally from the Hospital de San Lázaro, in Seville, and already at the city's Museo de Pinturas by his time; the author notes the presence of pineapple motifs on this font. Noted and illustrated in Pleguezuelo (2007): Baptismal font. Sevilla, end of the 15th century. Glazed terracotta with relief decoration. Hospital de San Lázaro. The font consists of a round basin with tapering sides, a curved underbowl and a cylindrical pedestal base; the upper rim of the basin has three mouldings, the middle of which is patterned with striated intervals; below these are two rows of varied motifs and symbols (including a Christ Child, shells, Sun-disks, floral, and the IHS emblem), all these repeated several times around the basin; between these two rows are inserted small fleurs-de-lis; the lower end of the basin side has a moulding representing the knotted Franciscan cingulum that would later become quite common in Mexican fonts of the 16th century; on the rounded underbowl are large leaves;the pedestal base is moulded at both ends and has rows of motifs all around, as well as a Christ Child [or is it a putto?]. The whole is covered in a drak green glaze. A metal band is used for reinforcement all around the basin, just under the upper rim.
