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_QUINTANILLA_DE_LA_PRESA.pdf] [accessed 5 April 2023] as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period dated probably to the late-12th century: "pila bautismal, de traza románica […] alzada sobre el tradicional basamento circular escalonado, aquí semienterrado. Presenta copa semiesférica, de 93 cm de diámetro por 49 cm de altura, interior y exteriormente gallonada y con un bocel en la base. Se alza sobre un tenante cilíndrico –de aspecto moderno– que apoya en una basa de perfil ático de toro inferior aplastado. La cronología de lo conservado, pese a su sobriedad, podemos encuadrarla en las últimas décadas del siglo XII." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 19 March 2022] notes: "Su iglesia, en un alto, está dedicada a Santa Columba, y es gótica [...] La portada es románica con arquivoltas lisas [...] La pila, buena, es románica, con gallones y avenerada por dentro, con pie cilíndrico y base circular". The font consists of a hemispherical basin ornamented with ribbed pattern on the outside and with concave ribbing on the inside, raised on a modern moulded cylindrical base. No cover present but the upper rim retains two metal staples from the anchorings of an old cover.
