Described by López Carmona (1974); in Guerra (1986 c1978); in Lojendio (1985); in Bilbao (1996). Noted in the Enciclopedia del Romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_CRESPOS.pdf] [accessed 16 March 2023]: "pila bautismal románica, labrada a hacha, de copa semiesférica de 86 cm de diámetro por 68 cm de altura, sobre pilar de 19 cm de alto. Su decoración, con dos líneas de dientes de sierra excisos flanqueando un bocel sogueado entre dos junquillos, la relaciona con un nutrido grupo de ejemplares cán-tabros y burgaleses: Lomas de Villamediana, Villamediana de Lomas, Linares de Bricia, Crespos, Quintanilla-Colina y Brullés, [...] Villaescusa de Ebro [now in] San Martín de Elines), Quin[t]anilla de An, Revelillas, Ruijas, Espinosa de Bricia, Repudio y Salcedo, etc." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 16 March 2023] describes the parish here as the oldest in the diocese, but does not mention the font in it: "Su iglesia es […] románica, de una sola nave y pequeñas proporciones […] Data de 1143 ó anterior por el dato que aparece en una inscripción. Es, sin duda, la parroquia más antigua de la diócesis. El ábsi-de es románico, semicircular, con canes con cabezas de animales y humanos, ajedrezado y contrafuertes. la portada es también románica". The font is also similar to a popular type of Cantabrian fonts. The roughly hemispherical basin is decorated with two bands of saw-tooth, a double rope motif between them; the base is tiny and plain. No cover present.
