Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] [accessed 27 January 2022]: "El templo parece obra del siglo XVI pero con formas tardogóticas y pilares renacientes. El único elemento románico es la pila bautismal que se encuentra actualmente ubicada en la cabecera de la nave de la epístola. Tallada en piedra caliza, con una altura de 92,5 cm y un diámetro de 97 cm, presenta forma de copa, decorada en su parte superior con entrelazo de mimbres formando figuras romboidales que albergan a flores cuatripétalas de hojas agudas, mientras en la inferior son grandes flores de lis incisas el elemento ornamental. El pie está compuesto por una basa con plinto cuadrangular sobre la que se dispone un grueso toro acotado por cuatro racimos angulares, sobre el que se alza un pie cilíndrico recorrido por incisiones, a modo de ar cos invertidos. Esta pila guarda notable parentesco con la de la colegiata de Covarrubias." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 27 January 2022] notes: "la iglesia, dedicada a la Asunción de Nuestra Señora, es gótica [...] La portada es clasicista [...] La pila del agua bendita tiene pie renacentista que sostiene una concha marina"; it does not mention the baptismal font itself. Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the upper rim has a roll moulding; below is a band of lozenge-shaped interlacing with inscribed flowers; the underbowl is ornamented with incised stylised fleur de lis motifs; the round base is decorated with six inverted arches; the square lower base has a bunch of grapes(?) at each corner. Some damage visible on the upper rim.
