Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009), who mentions similarities with the fonts at Pinilla-Trasmonte and Santa Maria de Mercadillo. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_CILLERUELO_DE_ARRIBA.pdf] [accessed 19 March 2023] notes and illustrates a polygonal baptismal of the 13th century: "pila bautismal de forma poligonal decorada a su alrededor con doce arcos de medio punto doblados y peraltados que apoyan sobre columnillas pareadas. Responde al mismo tipo y probablemente a la misma mano que las de Pinilla-Trasmonte y Santa María del Mercadillo. También la de Cabañes tiene forma poligonal pero en ese caso las arquerías cobijan figuras muy deterioradas. Sus dimensiones son: 95,5 cm de diámetro × 85 cm de altura. La labra a trinchante con que fue ejecutada toda ella denota una cronología tardía que rebasa con toda seguridad el año 1200." 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 footless Romanesque font in the Renaissance parish church here: "Santa María de la Torre es la titular de su iglesia, renacentista [...] la pila es románica, de vaso, de diez lados con arcos y, curiosamente, sin pie." Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin is dodecagonal and its sides are ornamented with an arcade of twelve round arches resting on paired columns with capitals and bases; the font rests directly on the ground.
