Basin of a baptismal font exhibited in the Museo de Málaga [formerly Museo Arqueológico Provincial de Málaga] in March 2017; the museum label identifies it as being made of glazed ceramic in the 15th century by a pottery ["alfar"] in Triana, a quarter of the city of Seville, Spain; the label further notes the decorative Eucharistic motifs of the grape bunches and leaves, and points out that in 1761 the then bishop of Malaga, fray Alonso de Santo Tomas, issued a decree to not only forbid the making of ceramic fonts but also to have those made earlier destroyed. Despite's fray Alonso's decree many of these glazed fonts have survived, a considerable sampling of them documented in BSI. The basin has actually a further motif of interest, a very thing 'cingulum' all around in the scotia below the upper rim, a Franciscan note that became popular in the decoration of many early-colonial fonts in America.
