Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996). Described and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009) who mentions a disappeared lion from the base. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_MAHAMUD.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023]: "La pila bautismal (126 cm de diámetro × 83 cm de altura), procedente de la cercana ermita de San Andrés, se localiza en una capilla adyacente a la nave de la epístola, colocada sobre un gran basamento circular de sillería. Consta de una basa plana formada por molduras de bocel y medias cañas, muy parecida a la de la pila de Presencio. Como la de esta localidad, parece que también llevaba esculpidos prótomos de león que fueron picados, pero de los que todavía se pueden ver las garras sujetas al borde de la basa. La copa es de forma semiesférica y se decora con un bocel en la embocadura, seguido de una cenefa vegetal con un tallo ondulante ramificado y una serie de figuras ocupando la mitad inferior de la copa. En su mayor parte se trata de personajes en postura erguida entre los que se intercalan a veces simples cabezas antropomorfas y de animales. Se distingue en primer lugar la escena del Pecado Original, con Adán y Eva dispuestos a ambos lados del Árbol del Paraíso en el cual se enrolla la serpiente. Eva toma el fruto que le ofrece el reptil mientras que Adán adopta el típico gesto de llevarse su mano a la garganta. Siguen después una cabeza de macho cabrío, un gran pez, San Pedro con las llaves, un herrero sujetando un martillo y unas tenazas, una mujer con un huso de hilar, otra fémina tocando un pandero cuadrangular, varios músicos, una bailarina y varias figuras en dudosa actitud que para Garbiñe Bilbao compondrían la Presentación en el templo. La cronología se sitúa en torno a finales del siglo XII y comienzos del XIII, y está directamente relacionada estilística y tipológicamente con la de la cercana localidad de Presencio." 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: "San Miguel Arcángel [...] Es románico-gótica en lo que fue la antigua iglesia (a los pies) [...] y renacentista del medio hacia adelante [...] La pila es románica, buena, con molduras en borde y figuras de apóstoles, fus-te cilíndrico y base circular." On-site notes: one of the very interesting figural fonts of the Burgos-Palencia region. The font, probably of the late 12th or early 13th century, consists of a large hemispherical basin with a short circular base and a round lower base or plinth; the upper part of the basin side has a stylised acanthus vine; below it, a scene with Adam and Eve in Paradise, next to a fruit-laden apple tree on which writhes a serpent; St. Peter with his key stands next to an enormous fish depicted vertically; a smith; a woman holding a hen; a woman with a rhomboid drum; a pair of children hug and hold a round drum; a musician plays the bagpipes; woman dancing; man plays the "vihuela de arco" [old guitar-like string instrument played with a bow]; a musician with psaltery (?); St. Joseph with three pigeons in his hands; Madonna and Child, his hand raised in benediction; Simon holding the child Christ; 14 animal or monstrous masks are placed in the spaces between the figures. There is no cover present but there are two metal staples from an old cover in the upper rim, and evidence there of damage caused by a metal staple splitting the stone.
