Described in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin sides are decorated with a blind arcade, the arch-heads decorated with beaded tape and resting on columns with capitals; encircled Greek pattée cross under one of the arches; circular moulded lower base. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_MADRIGALEJO_DEL_MONTE.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023]: "En el interior se conserva una pila bautismal del mismo momento [tardorrománico de finales del siglo XII o más bien de las primeras décadas del XIII] formada por una basa con toro y escocia sobre la que apoya una copa semiesférica decorada con arcos de medio punto de trasdós perlado dispuestos sobre gruesas columnas provistas de capiteles. Uno de los arcos cobija una cruz patada inscrita en un círculo. Sus dimensiones son: 112 cm de diámetro y 90 cm de altura." 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: "Su iglesia está dedicada a Santo Tomás, Apóstol y es gótica […] La pila es románica, buena, con columnas, capiteles y arcos y decoración geométrica." On-site notes: one of the arches of the arcade has a Maltese cross inscribed in a circle; the other arches appear to be blank; hinges evident in the upper rim; some of the spandrels of the arcade have lovely triquetra motifs; there is some damage to the upper rim area of the basin; two metal staples from an old cover are at opposite sides of the upper rim but we found no cover present.
