Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin, ribbed inside and out, has a multiple-level rim; small round upper base and round lower base. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) points out the font at nearby Boada de Villadiego as having similar decoration [="También románica es la pila bautismal, situada a los pies de la iglesia en una estancia del lado del evangelio, bajo el coro, y dispuesta sobre un basamento circular que actualmente queda a la misma altura que el suelo. Presenta copa semiesférica, de 125 cm de diámetro × 55 cm de altura, decorada exteriormente con gallones bajo arquillos y una banda escalonada de lóbulos en la embocadura, al estilo de la cercana pila de Boada de Villadiego. Se alza sobre un basamento de 28 cm de alto, moldurado con una escocia entre boceles, una mediacaña y un fino bocelillo sogueado. La pila aparece datada por una inscripción –repetida tres veces–, con el texto ERA M CC XX VI, correspondiente al año 1188 de nuestro calendario."]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 12 May 2021] notes: "Tiene su iglesia dedicada a la Asunción de Nuestra Señora y es gótica [...] conservando restos románicos en fustes y capiteles en el cuerpo y canes al exterior [...] La pila es románica, con gallones, formando venera y anillo y base circular moldurada." The inscription, which is now hard to discern, is located around the sides of the base. No cover present but two metal staples remain in the upper basin rim from a former cover anchoring.
