Listed in Guerra (1986 c1978) as an immersion baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996) and in the Enciclopedia del Romanico en Castilla y Leon (2002- ) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_ROSALES.pdf] [accessed 4 April 2023] the slightly rectangular basin has a row of geometrical motifs (lozenge/diamond and round) at the outer chamfered upper rim, with another row of balls (?) on the inner chamfered upper rom; the sides of the basin have pairs of round arches, the arch-head double, plain on the outer, with ball/closed-flower motifs the inner side, the columnar supports with foliated capitals and moulded bases; on one of the sides of the basin a rampant (?) centaur in the left arch shoots an arrow at a rabbit or hare in the right; the next pair of arches to the right contains a pair of interlaced floral motifs; the following side has a pair of eagles (?) resting their claws on branches which resemble those of a pine tree with needles and pine-cones; the next side has a set of four flowers arranged in cross form in each arch; the lower side has a different pattern of decoration on each side: grooving, ball-in-socket, zigzag and beaded-tape. Raised on a short quadrangular modern base. García de Castro Valdés (2000) notes medieval quadrangular fonts in Spain at Beloncio, Bullaso, San Isidoro de Leon, Villanueva de Valdecarzana (suggested date in the 11th century); Armentia, Bustasur, Dosante, Gormaz, Quintanillabon, Rosales, Santillan del Agua, Soto de Bureba (suggested date in the 12th or 13th century); Ripodas and Turrillas (suggested date in the 13th century). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 4 April 2023] notes: "La pila es románica, curiosa y buena, cuadrada, con decoración de bolas, figuras y lises atadas por lazos".
