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/burgos_PEONES_DE_AMAYA.pdf] [accessed 28 March 2023] as similar to the one in nearby Amaya; the basin is ornamented with ribbed pattern; the base is small and round; the square lower base has a ball motif at each angle: "El único resto románico que se conserva en su iglesia parroquial es la pila bautismal, de factura muy similar a la de Amaya. La copa es lisa en su interior y con gallones en el exterior, pie circular poco desarrollado y basa cuadrada con pomos en los ángulos. Sus dimensiones son de 97 cm de diámetro × 100 de altura." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 6 August 2021] notes: "La Asunción de Nuestra Señora es la titular de su iglesia; y es gótica [...] La portada es renacentista [...] La pila es románica con gallones y base circular". [NB: Bilbao (ibid.) reports the location of the font beneath the west gallery, which it may have been at the time [ca. 1996], but it is now [2021] in the nave, north side, opposite the south entranceway [see ImagesArea]].
