Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the large basin is plain except for a single ornament: a Greek pattée cross inscribed in a medallion. The Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_MIJANGOS.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023] questions Bilbao's dating: "Garbiñe Bilbao incluye la pila bautismal –un sencillo vaso decorado con una cruz patada dentro de medallón–, en el período románico, pero esta cronología nos parece sumamente dudosa." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023] reports a Romanesque font in the Baroque church here: "La pila es románica, lisa, con pie cilíndrico".
