Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ); roughly hemispherical basin with a band of lozenge all around the basin side; below, two sets of honey-comb pattern: one in triangular patches, the other covering the whole band area [the triangular sets are however incised to indicate that it was meant to be completed, at least originally]; there is a narrow band of zigzag about half-way down the side, as if marking the beginning of the underbowl, the latter decorated with an arcade of round arches, the insides of which are shaped like ribs; the short round base has a moulding. 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: "Su iglesia está dedicada a Santa María y es románica de transición, de finales del siglo XIII […] La pila es románica, buena, con gallones embutidos en arcos, decoración geométrica y pie hundido".
