Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the lower side and the underbowl are ribbed; the upper sides of the basin contain a number of motifs identified in Bilbao as: bust of an ape, quatrefoils, a cross, three fish, a cross on steps, a vegetal motif surmounted by a human head, a cross made with vine leaves, another vegetall motif topped by a human head, this one with beard and a mane, another vegetal motif with half-eroded head; the base does not seem Romanesque. No entry found for Castildelgado in the Enciclopedia del románico. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 5 December 2021] notes: "La iglesia está dedicada a San Pedro, Apóstol, y es renacentista [...] La pila es románica con avenerado interior y escenas en relieve" [NB: actually it has no 'avenerado interior', i.e., interior concave ribbing, as the inner basin is totally plain]. On-site notes: there are hinges from an old cover still evident in the rim.
