What is recorded here
Half a meter across and twenty centimeters tall, the octagonal font base still stands inside Laracor church, its central hour-glass hole piercing the stone like a forgotten breath. Water may have flowed through that narrow passage for generations, carrying rain, tears or baptismal life into the earth below. The chamber above has changed, yet this small vessel remembers every ceremony it touched.
The octagonal base of a font (dims 0.53m x 0.53m; H 0.2m) with a central hour-glass perforation is at Laracor church (ME036-044----).
