The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] reports a Romanesque baptismal font in the parish church: "hermosa iglesia, de pequeñas proporciones, dedicada a San Cosme y San Damián, de estilo románico sencillo, ya de transición [...] la portada es románica, simple [...] la pila bautismal es románica con cenefa inferior y avenerada". Described in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ). Baptismal font of the [late-?] Romanesque period; the round tapering basin is ribbed inside and out; the outside ribbing is flat and interrupted lower down by a horizontal band with a two-strand braid with bead inserts; below which the ribbed pattern continues on the underbowl; mounted on a short round stem and a round-to-square lower base with spurs at 90-degree angles. No cover present. There is a stone basin insert in the basin, perhaps a former holy-water stoup. The fonts at Arcellares del Tozo, Barrio Panizares and Pedrosa de Valdelucio are given as cognates.
