Font Notes:
Romanesque font described in Pérez Carmona (1974), Christe (1982), Lojendio (1985). Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_COJÓBAR.pdf] [accessed 16 March 2023], which gives a number of other fonts as sharing design, ornamentation and dating at the late-12th or early 13th century: "Bajo un arcosolio abierto en el muro norte de la nave se halla una pila bautismal románica de 129 cm de diámetro y 92,5 cm de altura. La copa tiene forma semicircular y al inte-rior posee una decoración avenerada. El borde presenta un sogueado y debajo de él una línea de cabezas de clavos. El resto de la copa se ornamenta con diecinueve arcos de medio punto peraltados que se apoyan sobre columnillas en las que se marcan la basa, el fuste y el capitel. Los espacios de las enjutas se decoran con palmetas y con alguna cruz inscrita en círculo. La basa repite la decoración sogueada en suparte superior e inferior, intercalándose dos bandas, una de arquillos con una incisión en las enjutas y por encima una moldura de bocel. Desde el punto de vista tipológico y decorativo se puede relacionar con las pilas de Madrigal del Monte, Mecerreyes, Zalduendo, Tornadijo, Valdorros, Villa-mayor de los Montes y Mazariegos, fechables todas ellas a finales de siglos XII o comienzos del XIII." The entry for this church in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero's Amo a mi pueblo (2016: 411-412) [http://www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 15 March 2023] notes: "Tiene su iglesia dedicada a San Cristóbal, mártir. Es románica, de una sola nave, con cabecera románica con arco toral y capiteles de aves. El ábside es románico […] la portada es románica, apuntada, con tres arqui-voltas lisas y fustes con capiteles de decoración vegetal. Todo sencillo […] la pila es románica, de vaso, con arcos finos y relieves y sogueado en borde y base. Buena."
