Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, on the base of which she identifies two crudely-carved snakes to the sides of an apple and a few vegetal motifs. The font consists of a plain hemispherical basin raised on a squat cylindrical stem, and a circulat plinth. The wooden cover is flat and round, plain and rather crude. There appears to be a metal staple on the upper side of the basin, that could be part of an earlier cover-lock. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ), however, describes this as a font of doubtful date ["de dudosa cronología"]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 15 February 2021] notes: " iglesia dedicada a San Esteban protomártir, tiene base románica, pero ha sido renovada en gran parte con posterioridad. Conserva el ábside románico"; it mentions no font in it.
