A human figure appears on the otherwise plain, but interesting, font of San Martin de Hoyos (Karlsson (1989); arches, crenellated wall and crosses (Garcia Guinea (1979) and (1996). Bilbao (1998) identifies buildings as a symbol of a Celestial Jerusalem. The Encilopedia del Romanico describes it as Romanesque and gives some measurements: "Conserva esta iglesia románica una pila muy popular, con basa de baquetones indecorados. Es de forma tronco-cónica. La cuba, que tiene una altura de 65 centímetros,lleva en su frente una representación de una figura humana,de frente, muy tosca e ingenua, con los brazos en alto, faldellín y enorme cabeza, de talla extremadamente rústica, que recuerda las figurillas en barro pre-colombinas. Se cobija la figura bajo arco de medio punto. Otros varios arcos peraltados de medio punto (tres) nos recuerdan las altas arcaduras de alguna de las iglesias rupestres del alto Ebro, tal, por ejemplo, la iglesia de Las Presillas de Bricia. Dos cruces de tipo latino a ambos lados de la figura y una especie de almenas en el ángulo superior izquierdo completan esta extraña decoración cuyo simbolismo desconocemos. La basa, de 20 cm de alto, descansa sobre enorme disco de piedra que queda incluido en el suelo de la iglesia. El grosor dela pila, en el borde, es de 12 cm." A bucket-shaped basin on a squat base and circular plinth; crude workmanship. No cover present.
