Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, originally from the town of Icedo, also in Burgos province. Described and illustrated digital in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_HORMICEDO.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] which rejects Bilbao's font provenance; instead, it states that the font is originally from the Iglesia de San Quirico y Santa Julita in Hormicedo, whence it was moved to the village square at Villanueva de Puerta; a few years prior to the publication of the Enciclopedia…, the font disappeared altogether, but there is documentation and, at least, one photograph extand of the font. It consists of a hemispherical basin with broad ribs and overimposed arches on the outside, and a broad moulded cylindrical base. Bilbao (ibid.) describes the base as modern, but the photograph in the Enciclopedia…, which shows the font up-turned, has an old base. The Enciclopedia entry (ibid.) further notes: "La pila bautismal fue sacada de esta iglesia hace algunos años y pasó a presidir una plazuela en la cercana localidad de Villanueva de Puerta, de donde recientemente ha desaparecido. Hecha en piedra caliza, tenía forma de copa, con ancha base cilíndrica. El vaso se decoraba con gallones, formando parte de un tipo muy frecuente en la época y que se halla también en la misma parroquial de Villanueva de Puerta o en Villanueva de Odra. Garbiñe Bilbao, quien aporta sus medidas –102 cm de diámetro y 54 cm de altura– dice, erróneamente, que procede de la también cercana y despoblada localidad de Icedo." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] reports the parish church here in ruins and its baptismal font standing in the village square in nearby Villanueva de Puerta: "Tenía su iglesia dedicada a San Quirico y Santa Julita, mártires, de pequeñas proporciones, de base románica, de una nave con canecillos decorados y bóvedas encamonadas. El ábside es románico con canecillos. La portada es de medio punto, posterior, con impostas y sobrearco. Y la torre es en espadaña chata, con dos huecos y sin campanas. La techumbre está hundida y el edificio en ruinas […] Su pila bautismal, románica con gallones, está en la actualidad en una plazuela en Villanueva de Puerta".
