Scene Description: Source caption: "Importante obra en la comunidad riojana. Actualmente se desconoce sus primeras y ambiciosas trazas (1521). El obispo Alonso de Castilla Zúñiga (1523-1541) firma con el maestro de cantería Miguel de Ezquioga un replanteamiento del proyecto con planta de salón, tres naves, capillas, y cinco tramos. Juan Martínez de Mutio continúa la fábrica (1536), que sería terminada por Juan Pérez de Solarte (1565) con el visto bueno de Pedro de Rasines. El retablo mayor de Hernando de Murillas (ca. 1626), con formas manieristas, es admirable."

Described and illustrated in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004) and in the Enciclopedia del románico en La Rioja (2008) as a Gothic baptismal font of the 13th century but one that retains much of the Romanesque typology, a genuine product of a workshop that produced fonts in the Sonsierra area. Noted and illustrated in Romanico Digital [www.romanicodigital.com/cedar/pila-bautismal-53377.aspx] [accessed 13 August 2020]. The font consists of a squat modern base on which is raised the round basin with tapering sides decorated with an arcade of nine slightly pointed arches, each containing a human figure: eight of them appear to be clerics, some holding staves, others with hands/arms in different positions; the ninth could be an angel holding a musical instrument, as identified in Sáenz Rodríguez (ibid.) and in the Enciclopedia… (ibid.); in the spandrels of the arcade are four human heads in the same style as those of the lower figures, and five fleurs-de-lis; the upper band of relief is so badly eroded that the motif on it can no longer be discerned in some areas, but it appears to be a vine. No Cover present
