Described in Bilbao (1996: 293) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin is ribbed inside and out, with lobed rim. Round upper base has four decorative "bumps" totally unidentifiable today; round lower base. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_TABLADA_DE_VILLADIEGO.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2023] reports a 13th-century font in it: "En el interior se guarda una pila bautismal del siglo XIII, decorada con bolas en la basa y gallones en la copa. Responde al mismo tipo que las de Padilla de Arriba, Palazuelos de Villadiego, San Martín de Humada, Hormicedo (Villanueva de Puerta) y Sasamón" [mo measurements given] in the Enciclopedia entry]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 9 May 2022]: "A las afueras del pueblo, en lo más alto, está situada su iglesia, dedicada a San Román, mártir, románica de transición [...] La pila, buena, es románica, avenerada por dentro, con gallones y base circular con adornos". None of the above sources identify the four motifs set at 90-degree angles of the base; [cf. ImagesArea]; one of them is clearly a human head; another is an avian head, a bird of prey, perhaps an eagle's or a falcon's; a third appears to be animal but it is too eroded for identification; the fourth has been damaged beyond recognition as a head. No cover present but there is evidence of cover anchorings left in the upper rim.
