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- ) as a Romanesque baptismal font: "En el interior del templo, se conserva una interesante pila bautismal de factura románica, formada por una gran basa con lengüetas y una copa (110 cm de diámetro × 44 cm de altura) decorada con gallones abrazados por una cenefa de entrelazo. Guarda un gran parecido con las pilas de Barrio Panizares, Basconcillos del Tozo y Arcellares, para las que pudo servir de modelo. Puede fecharse a finales del siglo XII o principios del XIII." Both sources give the fonts at Arcellares del Tozo, Barrio Panizares and Basconcillos del Tozo as cognates. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] notes: "La pila es románica con gallones, anillo, avenerada por dentro, pie cilíndrico y base cuadrada con cabezas." The font consists of a hemispherical basin adorned with broad ribbed pattern on the ouside, overimposed on which runs a band of interlace with circles inserted; the basin interior is decorated with concave ribbing; raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a lower base consisting of a thick roll moulding with curled leaves over a square volume. There is damage to the upper rim of the basin, in which still remain two metal staples of the old cover; further damage to the lower base as well. No cover present. [NB: a replica copy of the old baptismal font appears to have been made recently [ca. 2020?] and is said to be located in the nearby 13th-century Ermita de Villaux [formerly Villahús], in the abandoned hamlet of that name, near Pedrosa del Páramo]
