Scene Description: A commentary from the photographr's flickr entry: "Una pila bautismal románica desgastada por el tiempo. El amable párroco nos comentó que anteriormente estaba situada en el interior de la iglesia, justo a la entrada. Que un día visitó la iglesia Chamoso Lamas y le explico el significado de los diferentes relieves, pero el no recordaba mucho".
