Font Notes:
Described in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en La Rioja (2008). Noted and illustrated in Rioja Románica [https://www.riojaromanica.com/categorias/pilas-bautismales#] [accessed 8 November 2020]: "Esta pila bautismal procede de la ermita de Santa María de la Oreca. Es medieval por su tipología y mide 92 cm de altura total por 106 cm de diámetro del brocal y 48 cm de altura del pie por 44 cm de altura de la taza. Tiene forma de copa, se compone de un pie con base rematada en cuatro apéndices triangulares en las esquinas, fuste y moldura abocelada en la parte superior, y una taza semiesférica sin ningún tipo de decoración." Baptismal font originally from the Ermita de Santa Maria de Oreca, moved to Anguciana in 1975 when the former rural chapel became redundant. The font, now much re-tooled and repaired, consists of a roughly hemispherical basin on a roud-to-square pedestal base, both plain. Sources note that, though medieval, the font cannot be dated with any certainty and appears to have been re-tooled.
