Baptismal font described in Bilbao (1996). Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_MADRIGAL_DEL_MONTE.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023]: "Del mobiliario litúrgico de época románica ha llegado hasta nuestros días una pila bautismal (123 cm de diáme-tro × 96 cm de altura) compuesta por una copa semiesférica decorada con arquerías y sogueados, y una basa circular con zigzag y banda de arquillos. Desde el punto de vista tipológico se puede encuadrar en el mismo grupo que las de Cojóbar, Tornadijo, Zalduendo, Mecerreyes, Valdorros, Villamayor de los Montes y Mazariegos, fecha da esta última en la década de 1190". The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023] notes: "iglesia de base románica, muy reformada posteriormente, dedicada a San Miguel, Arcángel […] La portada es románica […] La pila es románica, buena, con arcos, capiteles y columnas, base amplia con moldura y sogueado". Baptismal font of the late Romanesque period; the basin is roughly hemispheric and has a rope moulding all around the upper rim; below it is a band of striated pattern; blind arcade of round arches on columns with capitals and bases all around; there is a peculiar set of holes in the spandrels of the arcade [they do not go through into the inner basin so they must be just decorative]; on a broad and squat lower base decorated with several details: graded moulding, zig-zag, round arch-heads and a thin rope mouldings.
