Romanesque baptismal font, 11th-12th century.Stone.Measurements: 22 x 50 x 50 cm.Baptismal font in carved stone with crosses inscribed in circles and vertical incisions alternating around the cup. It has different types of crosses on its belly, one of which is similar to those used in Anglican churches, with its four equal arms, widening outwards and ending in the shape of a hammer, forming a circle. The baptismal font often consisted of a basin, shaft and foot, but sometimes, as in the present case, it was limited to a hemispherical bowl with the belly carved with religious motifs. Medieval historians agree that there were workshops in the Romanesque period that specialised in making baptismal fonts. Depending on the importance of the temple for which they were intended, the work was more or less elaborate. The baptismal font is carved from a large single block of stone. The type of stone material is usually sandstone or limestone. The shape of the baptismal font contains numerous Christian symbolisms related to the sacrament it serves: Baptism.

JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955)"Freud's children", 2001.Steel, plaster and water pump, copy 25/25.Signed and numbered.Size: 31 x 31 x 26 cm."Freud's children" is a simple piece in its configuration and subjugating in its minimal forms and enigmatic silence. The hands cupped to catch water from the basin formally contrast the organic and the formal minimalism of the cylinder, and at the same time put the elusive and elusive idea of water and the solidity of metal into dialogue. Plensa studies these synergies and latent dialogues between materials as bearers of meaning. And so, through the visual, he constructs meanings that do not require explanatory words. Rather, they awaken feelings and ideas linked to commitment, to the collective, to love, to the unconscious and to mutual help.Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mould iron using the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work in terms of both material and form, and began to use different materials such as metal waste, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has held solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he unveiled his work "Breathing", a memorial to journalists killed in the line of duty, at the BBC headquarters in London. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

Chinese vase. Qing dynasty, 19th century.Blue-grey celadon porcelain.Some old restoration.Measures: 58 x 23 x 23 cm.Chinese vase, late Qing dynasty, 19th century. Hexagonal shape with open mouth, with side handles in the shape of small Foo dogs. Polychromed in bluish-grey celadon enamel.Celadon refers both to a glaze colour and to a type of pottery specific to China (Chinese: qingci, literally 'green porcelain'). Korean celadon ware from the Goryeo period (918-1392) used this translucent green or blue-grey glaze. There is, however, early celadon in China, where the process was invented in the Yue region of the Yangtze River basin. Celadon is very popular in Asia, as it allows the colour of jade, the sacred stone, to be obtained.

Ca. 200-300 AD Over life size schist head of a bodhisattva, with elaborate coiffure featuring a topknot (Ushnisha) and carefully-detailed hair, neat headband, heavy, lowered eyelids, elegant nose, neat moustache, closed mouth and strong chin. His identity as a bodhisattva is established by the presence of a well-defined urna on his forehead. Together, these details create a majestic impression of a bodhisattva or individual who is able to reach nirvana (enlightenment) but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. The back is rough and unfinished, suggesting this piece was originally placed in an architectural setting. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent. The Kushan period (c. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this head belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area.
