Mexico Desconocido [after México en el Tiempo No. 20, septiembre / octubre 1997] [www.mexicodesconocido.com.mx/san-nicolas-oxtoticpac-un-claustro-en-miniatura-estado-de-mexico.html] [accessed 7 October 2016] notes: "Junto a la portería se encuentra el bautisterio, cuya pila bautismal de 1570 está decorada con el cordón franciscano y cuatro monogramas con las iniciales latinas IHS". This description does not fit the font that stands in the nave of the church, consisting of a plain hemispherical basin raised on a quadrangular pedestal base decorated with a human figure with raised arms; the object appears composite, made of two unmatched parts. The little cloister of this former monastery has a water fountain more in the style of the Franciscan fonts of the periob, a bucket-shaped basin with rope mouldings at both ends.
