One of two rectangular objects that are kept in this chruch and suposedly had been used as baptismal fonts in the past; it appears monolithic, with short partial mouldings at the upper rim; the interior of the basin well is deep, also octagonal; it appears tall enough not to need a base. It does not resemble any of the designs of fonts in this area. Is it a font? [cf. http://www.artmedieval.net/castella/santa%20cecilia%20mollo.htm [accessed 27 May 2009] for a recent photograph]
