Described and illustrated in Garcia Guinea (1979) and (1996) 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 the digital version of the Enciclopedia [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/SALCEDO_0.pdf] [accessed 28 February 2023] notes: "prisionera en un cierre de balaustres de madera, una bella y bien tallada pila bautismal semiesférica, que lleva como decoración, de arriba abajo: un estrecho bocel remarcando la boca, con una especie de puntos excisos de “engranaje”. Debajo de éste, se dibujan, con no muy marcado relieve, arcos de medio punto cruzados que descansan en otro listel de “engranaje”, similar al primero. Viene después una ancha banda, limpia de figuraciones, para terminar en otra, que dibuja secuencia continua de dientes de lobo, o triángulos isósceles que van colocados entre dos ribetes del repetido engranaje. En la misma piedra se talla un tenante cilíndrico que va igualmente decorado con arcos de medio punto, cruzados y el filete de “engranaje”. Toda esta copa carga sobre un plinto cuadrado de poca altura que lleva en las esquinas bolas, y que, a su vez, reposa sobre un gran banco circular. Mide la pila 92 cm de alto y 89 de diámetro. El borde plano de la embocadura, hasta que recorta por la excavación, es de 10 cm y en él se graban dos franjas paralelas de cuadraditos separadas por una incisión bastante profunda." The same entry in the Enciclopedia describes a holy-water stoup of a later period: "En la misma nave, pero hacia la cabecera, existe otra pila, que suponemos benditera, que ya parece de cronología más avanzada, dudando mucho que sea románica. Lleva en la copa serie de arquillos de medio punto, como gajos profundos, que son separados por una cruz latina. Mide, con su basamento, alto y complicado, 1,08 m, siendo sólo la copa de 39 cm." Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with two bands or ornamentation; the one below the rim has a pattern of intersecting round arch-heads sandwiched between thwo thin tapes of hatching pattern; another band, also framed between hatching tape, has saw-tooth pattern all around, the teeth point upwards; the short cylindrical stem has the same intersecting arch-head pattern seen on the basin with a single hatching tape, the latter almost entirely obliterated now; the round-to-square lower base has motifs at the angles, one of them clearly a ball, but the others are too damaged for identification. No cover present.
