Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/MIÑON DE SANTIBAÑEZ.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023] reports a baptismal font probably of the 13th century: "De posible traza románica es también la pila bautismal aunque su labra a trinchante apunta hacia una cronología tardía, centrada en la primera mitad del siglo XIII. Es de forma semiesférica (112 cm de diámetro × 82 cm de altura) y presenta como única decoración una sucesión de arquillos en la parte superior." 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 dedicada a San Pedro Apóstol y es gótica [...] El ábside es románico [...] La portada es románica, muy buena, del siglo XII, con los signos del zodíaco [...] La pila es románica, sencilla y lisa, con arcos continuados en borde y pie cilíndrico". The roughly hemispherical basin has a row of round arch-heads all around below the upper rim; the squat base is round and plain. There is a metal strap around the base that connects to the flat cover via another metal strap. The wooden cover is flat and plain, modern.
