Described and illustrated in Guerra (1986 c1978). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] : "La pila, muy buena, es románica con decoración en cenefa, arcos, dobles fustes, cruz patada, follaje y animales". Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in Palomero Aragón (2000) as a singular specimen ["singular pieza"] of Romanesque art. Sáenz Rodríguez (2004) notes some similarities of this font with those at Canales de la Sierra and Ventrosa, both in nearby La Rioja, but remarks on the much higher quality of this font. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del Románico en Castilla y León (2002- ). On-site notes: the upper part of the basin sides bears a vine under which appear 12 arches that contain: 3 over-imposed fish, a wolf, a gazelle, a lion, a pattée cross, four lions in the next four arches, two horse heads facing each other and a stork in profile with a long beak; the font rests on two ample round plinths. Two metal staples at apposite ends in the upper rim. [NB: the bucket-shaped basin is set on a two-step plinth against a corner of a narrow room off the nave, a sort of baptistery; about a third of the iconographic programme is practically hidden and very hard to photograph [NB: identification of the semi-hidden sides was carried out with the help of mirrors and side lights].
