Noted in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_COCULINA.pdf] [accessed 15 March 2023] as a baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin that is ribbed inside and out; the outside has a vine (acanthus?) all around carved over the broad ribs; the curious rim has two levels resulting from the inner ribs protruding slightly over the outer ones; the round squat base is moulded. No cover present: "un buen ejemplar de pila bautismal románica, de copa semiesférica interiormente avenerada y decorada al exterior con gruesos gallones, a dos tercios de altura recorridos por una cenefa con el consabido tallo ondulante en cuyos meandros se acomodan hojitas lobuladas, con un curioso escalonamiento en la embocadura. Mide la copa 117 cm de diámetro × 53 cm de altura, alzándose sobre un pie cilíndrico moldurado con boceles, de 47 cm de alto."
