Villanueva de la Oca / Billa Oka / Villanueva de San Pedro

Baptismal font of a clearly composite nature listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 27 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Pedro de Villanueva de la Oca, localidad perteneciente al municipio de La Puebla de Arganzón. Vista frontal de una pila bautismal de copa lisa; como apeo presenta una media pilastra gótica como se aprecia en la decoración de sus lados". The plain hemispherical basin could possibly be earlier, perhaps of the original Romanesque church here, but the block now serving as base is clearly am unrelated object a a later date. Details of the font appear in Ondare Irekia [https://www.ondareirekia.com/iglesia-de-san-pedro-de-villanueva-de-la-oca/] [accessed 27 July 2024], where the base is identified as a composite that includes the remains of a 15th-century stone sanctuary installed in the 18th century to make up the present font: "Otros elementos de interés son la pila bautismal, rehecha en el siglo XVIII utilizando para la base los restos de un sagrario gótico del siglo XV". The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_VILLANUEVA_DE_LA_OCA.pdf] [accessed 27 July 2024] does not mention a font in it; it dates the present church building as Baroque, but retaining a south portal of the earlier Romanesque building it replaced.
