Leache No. 3

The third of thee objects listed here for this parish church and, like the other two and the church itself, it appears to be a composite object that may include parts recovered from the disappeared Ermita de San Martin nearby. It consists of a basin of roughly rectangular shape, obviously made to be wall mounted on one of its long sides; the three free sides are decorated with: left side) three foliage ringlets; left angle) a saltire cross; front side) a ban of saw-tooth atop with a band of diapered pattern below; right angle) a human (?) being devoured by a snake head; right side) the body of the snake; the basin underbowl has a broad roll moulding; it stands on a torsade column with a moulded lower base. The most likely role of such an object, a wall-mounted basin provided with a drain, would be, not as a font or stoup, but as a lavabo near the altar.
