Described and illustrated in http://berlanga.blogia.com/temas/plan-romanico-sur.php [accessed 4 December 2009] [cf. Spanish text below]: The font is now located in the village square, having been removed from the church after the roof collapsed. The font consists of a bucket-shaped basin with a moulding at the upper rim, another moulding at the neck of the base, and foliage (?) at the corners of the level below. The local notes indicate that the font was deemed by Gaya Nuño (1946) as being similar to the one at nearby Abanco [cf. Index entry], but of better artistic quality. ["En el centro de la recoleta plaza de Paones, puede verse la pila bautismal románica que estuvo en la iglesia antes de que se hundieran sus bóvedas. Tiene una altura de 88,5 cms. y la forma un vaso troncocónico liso, de 104,5 cms. de diámetro, con bocel en la embocadura y corto pie, formado por una basa moldurada con bolas o frutas en las esquinas. Es muy parecida a la de la vecina iglesia de Abanco, pero para Gaya Nuño ésta es de mejor hechura."]
