Described in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 4 December 2021] notes: "Su iglesia, dedicada a San Esteban, protomártir, es barroca de 1739, en su mayoría, aunque con parte renacentista y restos románicos [...] la pila es románica con avenerado exterior y cenefa de piñas; y también es románica la pila del agua bendita." Described and illustrated in the entry for this village in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com]: "El elemento más significativo es la pila bautismal, conservada en el muro de la epístola de la cabecera. Presenta copa semiesférica de 84 cm de diámetro × 55 cm de altura, decorada con un bocel en la embocadura, una ancha banda de zarcillo perlado que acoge brotes con piñas, una banda de contario y los recurrentes gallones, en la línea de muchas de las vistas en la zona. Se alza sobre un tenante de 45 cm de alto, compuesto de pilar cilíndrico a modo de columna torsa, sobre basa ática con bolas y plinto." Hemispherical basin decorated with a vine of beaded tape, and a narrower band of beaded tape below; the underbowl has a ribbed pattern; the short stem of the base has diagonal piping/ribbing; the round-to-square lower base is moulded at the top and has motifs at the angles; there is considerable damage to the upper rim. No cover present.
