Font Notes:
The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 10 July 2021] notes: "La iglesia –un poco apartada del pueblo–, está dedicada a San Pedro Apóstol y es renacentista [...] La pila, buena, es románica, de vaso, con arcos incisos y base circular moldurada." Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ), which gives the fonts at Cuzcurrita de Juarros, Cueva de Juarros and Palazuelos de la Sierra as cognates; the sandstone basin is ornamented with a blind arcade of twelve round arches; the base is round and plain; the upper rim of the basin retains two of the metal staples for an old cover [="En el interior se conserva la antigua pila bautismal de tipología románica, guardada bajo el coro. Tallada en piedra arenisca, con una altura total de 87 cm, tiene un vaso de tendencia troncocónica convexa, de 106 cm de diámetro y decorado con bocel en la embocadura y cuerpo recorrido por una serie de arquillos de medio punto, con capiteles esbozados de forma cuadrangular. Otro bocel remata la parte inferior del vaso, que apoya sobre una gran basa circular moldurada. Es una pieza cuyo esquema a base de grandes arcos tuvo amplia difusión en tierras burgalesas en época románica, con claras perduraciones también durante los siglos góticos. En la comarca otras piezas que siguen en líneas generales el mismo modelo son al menos las de Cuzcurri-ta de Juarros, Cueva de Juarros y Palazuelos de la Sierra."
