Described in Bilbao (1996). Illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_QUINTANAR_DE_LA_SIERRA.pdf] [accessed 29 March 2023] notes: "El único testimonio que podemos considerar románico del templo es su pila bautismal, de copa semiesférica con un bocel en la embocadura, un piso bajo gallonado y la bandade zarcillos superior que se convierte en recurrente en la mayoría de las pilas románicas serranas. En este caso el grueso tallo y las anchas hojas que se acomodan en sus meandros manifiestan ruda talla sin concesiones al detallismo, simplemente insinuándose las formas. Se alza sobre un tenante poligonal más moderno, siendo su altura total de 107 cm × 108 cm de diámetro de la copa. Se sitúa en eltramo oriental de la nave del evangelio." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed November 2022] notes: "La pila es románica, con cenefa vegetal y gallones y pie poligonal".
Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin has a running acanthus vine below a roll moulding at the upper rim; ribbed underbowl; there is considerable damage to an area of the upper rim, now repaired in light-coloured cement; the damage may have been caused by a metal staple from an earlier cover; the octagonal pedestal base could be a later addition or replacement, perhaps from the 1630s re-building of the church. The wooden cover is round, flat and plain; modern.
