Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in García Guinea (1979: 286) and (1996: [58]): the basin is decorated with arcade, one of whose arches houses a dressed human figure: one hand to the chest, the other to the belly or crotch. The entry for this church in the Enciclpedia del Romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/cantabria_POBLACIÓN_DE_YUSO.pdf] [accessed 23 February 2023] notes that this 20th-century church houses the 12thh or 13th century medieval baptismal font: "La actual iglesia parroquial de San Andrés fue construida en la segunda mitad del siglo XX; en ella se conserva la antigua pila bautismal […] pila románica de los siglos XII o XIII. Se trata de una cuba circular tronco cónica, de paredes rectas, con una decoración muy repetida en las pilas bautismales románicas, de arcaduras de medio punto rebajado, que apoyan sobre pilastras altas, que llegan hasta el final de la base. Todas en relieve no excesivo que destaca sobre el fondo plano. En una de estas arquerías aparece, con el mismo relieve plano de las pilastras, una figurilla humana, de cabeza ovalada y cabello en alto, o tocado, y con un canon de tres cabezas y media, en postura totalmente frontal, que apoya su mano derecha sobre el pecho y la izquierda sobre el vientre. La figura es tosca, de ejecución un tanto torpe y rural. Interiormente, la pila lleva pared paralela a la exterior, estando el borde de la boca resaltado por una imposta a modo de baquetón. La embocadura está simplemente abocelada. La cuba se asienta sobre un pie cilíndrico, también de piedra de grano, en el que parecen marcarse tres cuerpos o tambores."
