Described in Bilbao (1996) and in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font of Romanesque appearance; the hemispherical basin is ornamented with ten rougly-executed and very weathered round arches between two rope mouldings; raised on a cylindrical base of later date. Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_OLMOS_DE_ATAPUERCA.pdf] [accessed 11 April 2021]: "Su iglesia parroquial es un edificio renacentista que conserva en su interior una pila bautismal de posibles trazas románicas (120 cm de diámetro × 90 cm de altura). Consta de un pie cilíndrico, de factura más moderna, sobre el que apoya una copa semiesférica decorada con una tosca arquería de medio punto y dos molduras sogueadas, una en la embocadura y otra en la parte inferior." Noted in the municipal web site [http://olmosdeatapuerca.com/portfolio_page/iglesia-de-la-natividad-de-nuestra-señora/] [accessed 11 April 2021]: "A los pies del templo se ubica una cuidada pila bautismal de trazas y formas románicas. Es una copa troncocónica que en su exterior va recorrida por arcadas de medio punto y la embocadura tiene una pequeña cenefa con ornamentación funicular. La basa es circular. Las medidas son de 120 cms. de diámetro por 90 de altura." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] notes: "iglesia, dedicada a la Natividad de Nuestra Señora, gótica [...] La portada es renacentista [...] La pila es románica, tipo vaso, con arcos incisos y moldura en borde".
