Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, who gives the location in the 'sotocoro' [west gallery]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 3 July 2021] notes: "San Bartolomé, apóstol, es el titular de su iglesia [...] La pila es románica, tipo piscina, con arcos incisos y pie cilíndrico." Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font made of deteriorating red sandstone, with possible date circa 1200; the basin is somewhere between hemispherical and bucket-shaped, decorated with an arcade of twelve round arches on the sides and a moulding at the upper rim; squat circular base; the Enclopedia gives the location in a chapel off the nave, beneath the gallery [= "En el interior del templo no hay nada que nos remita al estilo artístico románico, salvo la pila bautismal, ubicada en una capilla que sobresale sobre el hastial de la nave. Es de piedra arenisca roja –en claro proceso de degradación–, con una altura total de 71 cm y un diámetro de 116 cm, formada por un vaso de tendencia troncocónica, de paredes ligeramente convexas, decorado con bocel en la embocadura y doce arcos de medio punto –cuyo trasdós está marcado simplemente por incisiones– y cuyas columnillas muestran rudimentarias basas y capiteles. Esta decoración es muy frecuente en toda la provincia, con algunos ejemplos cercanos, como son Cuzcurrita o Cueva de Juarros. [...] la portada, un ejemplar típico de los últimos momentos románicos, que bien puede fecharse en el entorno de 1200, o incluso ya entrada la decimotercera centuria, fecha que puede hacerse extensible igualmente a la pila bautismal." The wooden cover is round, flat and plain; modern.
