Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; a rope motif runs over the curious little arches that adorn the upper part of the basin; the round base has a serpent and four apples, according to Bilbao (ibid.) Valle Barreda (2009) mentions similarities between the fonts of Boada de Villadiego, Quintanarraya and Tablada del Rudrón. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_QUINTANARRAYA.pdf] [accessed 29 March 2023] notes"la pila bautismal, se halla colocada en el baptisterio, a los pies de la nave de la epístola. Tallada en piedra caliza, con una altura de 73 cm, presenta forma de copa, con un irregular vaso de tendencia hemisférica, de 86 cm de diámetro, decorado con cordón en la embocadura y una serie de falsos arcos entrecruzados que conforman una especie de tulipas, formas geométricas que aparecen por ejemplo en decoraciones de arcos de Boada de Villadiego o Tablada del Rudrón, aunque la pieza en su conjunto guarda estrechas similitudes con la cercana pila de Brazacorta. El corto pie cilíndrico, dispuesto sobre un basamento circular, muestra un tosco bocel acompañado por cuatrobolas, que Garbiñe Bilbao identifica como una serpiente". 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 sogueado en borde, arcos insinuados y base circular, en la restauración ha sido cambiada de lugar". On-site notes: iron staples of the old cover are still evident in the upper basin rim. No cover present.
