Click to view
Noted in Bilbao (1996) and In Valle Barreda (2009). Romanesque font originally from the abandoned hamlet of Cuzcurrita de Aranda, nearby, now in the monastery of La Vid; the round basin has crude ribbing and rests on a modern base. No cover present but there are two metal staples for anchoring an old cover.
