Described and illustrated in García Guinea (1979) and (1996): Romanesque baptismal font similar to the one from Villaescusa de Ebro [cf. Index entry for San Martin de Elines No. 2], with two bands of triangular saw-tooth motif framed between three narrow rope mouldings. Bilbao (1996) suggests this font may be from the same workshop as the font at Crespos (Burgos prov.), and the fonts at Villaescusa de Ebro, Quintanilla de An, Revelillas, and Espinosa de Bricia (Santander prov.) Noted in Huerta Huerta (Enciclopedia del Romanico en Castilla y Leon) as a group of cognate fonts at: "Lomas de Villamediana, Villamediana de Lomas, Linares de Bricia, Crespos, Quintanilla-Colina y Brullés, [...] Villaescusa de Ebro [now in] San Martín de Elines), Quin[t]anilla de An, Revelillas, Ruijas, Espinosa de Bricia, Repudio y Salcedo." The entry in Romanico digital [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/cantabria_RUIJAS.pdf] [accessed 28 February 2023] notes: "La iglesia tiene pila románica de sogueado y dientesde lobo, muy repetida la grafía en muchas de las pilas delas iglesias del Valle. Se sitúa, dentro de la iglesia, en ellado de la Epístola. Sus medidas son: altura total, 96 cm;cuba, 66 cm; diámetro, 86 cm; borde, 11 cm". The entry for this church in Oscar M. Ruiz Pérez' Cantabria Románica [www.cantabriaromanica.com/articulos/san-pedro-advincula-de-ruijas] [accessed 2 March 2021] notes: "El interior alberga una deliciosa pila bautismal con decoración de rombos, al estilo de otras en Valderredible como Santa María de Hito o Revelillas." The teeth of the pattern point down in the upper row and up in the lower one; the direction of the thread alternates between the three bands, forward-backward-forward; there is considerable damage to one of the sides of the upper rim; the roughly hemispherical basin is raised on a round pedestal base that has a thick roll moulding atop, and a splaying body. No cover present. The font is now [2020] located at the east end of the nave, byt the chancel steps, towards the south side; obviously not its original location.
