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_REVILLA-VALLEGERA.pdf] [accessed 30 March 2023]: "La iglesia actual fue levantada fundamentalmente a fines del siglo XIII o tal vez ya en el XIV, dentro de un monumental estilo gótico, con reformas de época barroca. El elemento más antiguo sería la pila bautismal, una pieza de piedra caliza blanca con una altura total de 81,5 cm y un diámetro de 116 cm. Tiene forma de copa, con corto pie cilíndrico y vaso hemisférico, decorado con bocel en la embocadura y con cuerpo recorrido por una serie de arquitos de medio punto cuya luz es un gallón convexo, muy similares a los que luce la bautismal de Hoyos del Tozo." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 30 March 2023] notes: "La pila es gótica con gallones en relieve bajo arcos y pie cilíndrico". The hemispherical basin is ornamented with a blind arcade and ribbed pattern below it; on a short circular base. [NB: the Enciclopedia entry [cf. supra] mentions two other churches in the area, Santa Cruz del Tozo and Sasamón, both of which had parish churches, Iglesia de La Exaltación de la Santa Cruz and Santa María la Real respectively, without a mention of any fonts in them].
