CHANGE FILENAME N090418001 TO 1090418001 Illustrated in Calderón Escalada (1971). Described in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del Romanico en Castilla y Leon (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_LOMAS_DE_VILLAMEDIANA.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023]: "pila bautismal, contemporánea de la iglesia, que se conserva en una dependencia adosada en el lado sur, a la cual se puede acceder directamente tanto desde la nave como desde el pórtico. La pila se encuentra colocada sobre un basamento circular de tres escalones que parece original. Consta de un pie cilíndrico de 16 cm de altura sobre el que descansa una copa semiesférica de 89 cm de diámetro, adornada a su alrededor con una banda de dientes de sierra dispuestaentre dos molduras sogueadas"; the Enciclopedia (ibid.) further suggests as cognates the fonts at: "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." Baptismal font of the Romanesque period consisting of a hemispherical basin the sides of which are decorated with a pair of rope mouldings framing a band of saw-tooth pattern; the round base is plain; the font is raised on a three-step circular plinth. Located in a south area that serves as the baptistery. Andrés Serna López, of El Correo de las Matas [http://elcorreodelasmatas.blogspot.com] [accessed 24 February 2021] comments: "pila bautismal románica muy parecida a otras existentes en la zona (Espinosa de Bricia o Crespos), lo que nos habla de un mismo cantero trabajando por la zona". The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed June 2022] notes: "Tiene a San Andrés, Apóstol, como titular de su iglesia, de origen románico, pero con muchas reformas […] Conserva el ábside románico […] La portada es románica, apuntada […] La pila es románica con sogueado y dientes de sierra en borde, pie cilíndrico liso y tres escalones de subida".
