Font Notes:
A font in the cloister of the Seo de Urgel is illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. VI: 387), the very weathered basin of a medieval (?) baptismal font serving then and now [2020] as an ornament in the centre of the garden in the cathedral cloisters. This font was originally from the parish church at Estamariu. The large basin is roughly hemispherical and has a large notch cut into the upper rimside to attach e font cover lock there. The quadrangular plinth on which it now sits in the centre of the cloister gardens appears modern.
