Trebago No. 1 / Trébago / Trévago

Noted in García Gómez (2007). Bucket-shaped baptismal font decorated with horse-shoe arches and floral motifs. The Trebago website [http://www.trebago.com/historia.asp] [accessed 16 April 2010] suggests it may be pre-Romanesque, with Mozarabic influence. This same source suggests the font may have belonged to an earlier church on this site. The basin is bucket-shaped and badly damaged, having been repaired in part [NB: to judge by how the font was handled during the restoration, it is a wonder it did not suffered more!]; the decoration includes a vine uner the upper rim, and a set of intersecting horse-shoe arches all around; there are varied motifs (floral, ball, etc) in the internal spandrels and under the arches. The Ayuntamiento de Trévago web pages [http://www.trevago.es/index.php/mod.pags/mem.detalle/id.53/relcategoria.1020/relmenu.69] [accessed 16 April 2010] shows the font re-installed in the church after the 2002 restoration and the font appears to have been built into a corner of the nave wall!
