Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009) who dates to the second quarter of the 13th century at the earliest, on account of the serrated carver's tool used on this font [trinchante dentado] [NB: Viollet-le-Duc's dictionary (1856) notes that the use of the serrated-end 'bretture' started in the late 12th and early 13th century, and ceased in the 16th]. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_GUMIEL_DE_MERCADO.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023]: "pila bautismal, situada a los pies de la nave de la epístola y tallada en piedra caliza, con una altura total de 92,5 cm y un diámetro de 108 cm. El vaso, que tiene una altura de 71 cm, se dispone sobre un corto pie de cemento y presenta una forma troncocónica, casi cilíndrica, cuya cara externa está decorada con ocho sencillos arcos de medio punto que presentan la peculiaridad de que la luz del arco es mayor que la de los apoyos, formados por pilastras, una circunstancia que podemos ver también en una de las pilas que se conservan en el Museo de la concatedral de San Pedro, en Soria. A pesar de que su forma es muy característica de las pilas bautismales románicas, las improntas que en susuperficie ha dejado el instrumento de talla, nos llevan a datarla al menos en el segundo cuarto del siglo XIII, cuando la típica hacha de filo recto que usaron los canteros románicos para labrar dejó paso al trinchante dentado, empleado a lo largo de todo el período gótico." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] notes: "Santa María la Mayor es la titular de la primera de sus iglesias, gótica […] La pila es románica, con arcos incisos de medio punto, lisa." Baptismal font of the late Romanesque period; the tub-shaped basin has a blind arcade of eight shallow round arches around its sides. On-site notes: the flat wooden cover is modern but there is evidence of old metal staples on the rim from an older cover; the carving of the arcade is very shallow; the basin is mounted on a short circular lower base, modern.
