Font Notes:
Molina Castillo (2008) notes and illustrates the square basin of a baptismal font originally from the Ermita de San José, in David, now in the collections of the Museu de Historia y de Arte José de Obaldía, in the same town; the front side of the stone basin has a triangular moulding inscribed in which is a rectangle with wings and a cross pointing down, perhaps the symbol of the Holy Ghost. There is no base for the basin at present.
