Described in Bilbao (1996).

Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_MONCALVILLO.pdf] [accessed 23 March 2023]: "pila bautismal, colocada cerca de la cabecera, al lado de la epístola. Repite el tipo más frecuente en la Sierra, con copa semiesférica decorada con un bocel en la embocadura, una banda de tallo perlado ondulante del que brotan torpes hojitas y gruesas piñas, cenefa media de entrelazo y piso inferior gallonado. Se alza sobre un pilar cilíndrico entorchado, basa ática de prominente y aplastado toro inferior decorado con semibezantes y lengüetas y plinto cúbico ornado con arquillos de medio punto. Mide 104 cm de diámetro por 101 cm de altura total y se relaciona con los ejemplares de Terrazas, Palacios de la Sierra, Carazo, Castrillo de la Reina, etc., compartiendo tosquedad con el último ejemplo citado". 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: "La pila es románica, buena, con cenefa vegetal y piñas, gallones, pie moldurado y base cuadrada con adornos." The sides of the round basin are decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, with a broad band below that has an acanthus vine bearing fruit; the stem of the vine is made of beaded-ribbon; the bottom of the vine is framed by a braid; the tall underbowl has ribbed pattern all around; short circular stem with torsade motif and a moulding ; round-to-square lower base with round arch-heads on both the round moulding; fuller arches on the sides of the square volume. The upper rim of the basin is decorated with a foliage pattern and retains two of the old cover metal staples. No cover present.
