Gestoso y Pérez (1919) notes and illustrates a ceramic font originally from Castilleja de Talhara; the author notes that the font was already at the mansion of the Condes de Casa Galindo, in Seville itself, at the time of writing; his illustration shows only the basin, without a base. The roughly hemispherical basin has a flat moulding at the upper rim decorated with eagles and rampant lions;a row of pinapple motifs below; a thin rope (?) moulding marks the top of the underbowl, and below it are two rows of stamped motifs. The basin is mounted on a modern metal support frame. The font originated in the rural chapel of Castilleja de Talhara, said to have been destroyed in the 1756 earthquake; it is reported in a private collection in Seville [cf. supra].
