Described in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ): "Al fondo de la nave norte se encuentra la pila bautismal, de piedra arenisca, igualmente románica. Es una curiosa pieza en forma de copa, de pie prismático y vaso cuadrado, con una altura total de 70 cm y una anchura de 84 × 89 cm. El vaso muestra un bocel en la embocadura exterior y una especie de cadena de gruesos eslabones en la interior. Los frentes están recorridos por toscas líneas en zigzag, a veces simples incisiones, pero que en algún caso llegan a formar casi medios boceles. En cuanto a las aristas verticales, son bastante diferentes: una de ellas simple, otra con bocel, otra con los citados eslabones, con una cabecita humana en la esquina inferior, y la cuarta con la misma cadena, pero ahora flanqueada en su parte superior por motivos vegetales. [...] En relación con la de Castrillo de Riopisuerga Palomero e Ilardia (1991-1992) han sugerido que su forma quizá pueda remontarse al siglo X, pero la presencia de boceles no deja duda sobre su filiación románica. Apuntan los mismos autores que “su tamaño nos hace pensar en la posibilidad de un bautismo por inmersión”, lo que tampoco parece muy probable, a tenor de los 39 cm de profundidad que tiene el hueco." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] notes: "la iglesia del lugar está dedicada a San Bartolomé, Apóstol, y es de tres naves góticas [...] El ábside es románico [...] La portada es renacentista [...] La pila es románica, cuadrada, con molduras y líneas incisas dentadas". Baptismal font consisting of a square basin decorated with a simple interlace pattern around the inner rim of the well, while the outer sides are ornamented with large zigzag bands; the angles of the basin have been carved with a variety of motifs: one is plain, another has thin column or piping, while the two others have a pattern that resembles the interlace found around the rim of the inner well, one with a tiny human head at the bottom, the other with foliage motif at the top; it is raised on a quadrangular base. Square fonts in this region are not very common, though the Enciclopedia… (2008) notes: Olvega and Gormaz (Soria prov.); Bustillo de Santullan and Villaverde de la Pena (Palencia prov.) Rosales, Quintanillabon, Grisalena, Dosante, Valluercanes, Castrovido, Cernegula, Santillan del Agua, Bortedo, Llano de Bureba, Castil de Lences and Castrillo de Rio Pisuerga (Burgos prov.); last, but certainly not least, is the font of the Colegiata de San Isidoro in Leon capital.
