Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). The entry for this village in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_SANTA_CECILIA.pdf] [accessed 5 April 2023] reports the church as 16th-century but its font is earlier: "El conjunto de la fábrica nos parece obra de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI –en la portada figura el año 1579– con algunos añadidos posteriores. El único elemento claramente románico es la pila bautismal, que tiene embocadura con moldura funicular y bajo ella una cenefa con arquillos de medio punto entre cruzados, como en la pila de Rabé de los Escuderos. El pie consta de toro y escocia, mientras que la base presenta forma cuadrangular. Las dimensiones son 85 cm de diámetro × 92,5 de altura total." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 5 April 2023] notes: "La pila es románica con sogueado en borde, arquitos leves, pie torneado con moldura y base cuadrada". Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the bucket-shaped basin is decorated with a thin rope-moulding at the upper rim, and a band of intersecting round arch-heads below, with the rest of the sides plain; the base is round-to-square, with mouldings and scotia at the upper end; part of the base, if not all, is of a later date than the rest. No cover present.
