Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009), who suggests the fonts Aguilera, Losana and Tarancueña, all of them in Soria. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_HONTORIA_DEL_PINAR.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] of general Romanesque appearance, somewhat similar to three other fonts in Soria: "pila bautismal de traza románica situada a los pies de la nave de la epístola, sobre un moderno plinto. Presenta copa cilíndrica de 107 cm de diámetro y altura total –con el pilar cilíndrico moldurado con dos boceles a modo de basa– de 79 cm, decorándose externamente con poco resaltados gallones que parten de arquitos de medio punto incisos. Dentro de su simplicidad, guarda ciertas similitudes con los ejemplares sorianos de Tarancueña, Aguilera y Losana." 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: "La pila es románica con unos leves gallones y tiene pie cilíndrico y base cuadrada." The entry for this church in the village web site [www.hontoriadelpinar.es/lugares-de-interes/iglesia-parroquial-la-asuncion-de-nuestra-senora] [accessed 22 July 2020], mentions the font inside: "La pila es romanica con gallones, insinuados, pie cilíndrico y base cuadrada"; it cites its source (ibid.) as: "Las mil y una Iglesias de la Diocesis de Burgos". The basin is roughly cylindrical, with a rounded underbowl, all covered in a pattern of thick ribs that end at the top in round arch-heads; raised on a short round stem with a pronounced roll moulding, and a lower quadrangular base. It appears to be a work of crude workmanship.
