Listed in Pérez Carmona (1974). Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009), who mentions similarities with the fonts of Ciadoncha, Mazariegos [Madrid museum] y Palazuelos de Muño. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2023] notes: "La pila es gótica, de copa, con estriados y pie cilíndrico". Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin sides and underbowl are ornamented with a blind arcade of round arches on columns with capitals and bases [NB: one of the arcade supports was replaced by a triangular leaf or flower, perhaps a carver's whim?]; above, below the rim, two parallel grooves; the round base is plain; raised on a wide circular plinth.
