La copa se orna con tres bocelillos sogueados entre los que se disponen dos bandas de dientes de sierra excisos, al estilo de las pilas cántabras de Villaescusa de Ebro, Quintanilla de An, Ruijas, Espinosa de Bricia, etc. En la provincia de Burgos hallamos similar decoración en las pilas de Brullés, Villamediana de Lomas, Lomas de Villamediana, Linares de Bricia, Crespos, etc. " The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 30 March 2023] mentions the font in the parish church: "La pila de Quintanilla es románica con decoración dentada y sogueado". Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin is ornamented by two bands of saw-tooth pattern and two rope mouldings between them; the pedestal base and lower base are round. Bilbao (ibid.) claims the font at the Iglesia de San Cipriano, in the same village, is an unfinished version of this font. [cf. Index entry for Quintanilla Colina No. 2 for details]
