Listed in Pérez Carmona (1974). 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- ) [www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_VILLASUR_DE_HERREROS.pdf] [accessed 4 May 2021]: "aquí se conservan tam-bién dos pilas bautismales, una [...] en el interior [...] de mucha mayor calidad, labrada ahora en piedra caliza blanca de superficies alisadas, con una altura total de 83 cm y un diámetro de 127 cm. Consta de gran vaso troncocónico, de 64 cm de altu-ra, con hueco hemisférico y con la cara exterior profusamente decorada. Un bocelillo recorre la embocadura y bajo él se dispone un friso de catorce arcos de mediopunto, cada uno albergando otro de herradura en cuyo interior se disponen variadas composiciones geométricas:l acerías, rosetas, celosías, aspas, cuadros biselados. Uno de los arcos –hoy mirando hacia la pared del templo– acoge a un castillo de tres torres, con merlones apuntados y puerta en arco de herradura, sobre la que se dispone un sencillo óculo. Una serie de molduras ocupan la parte inferior del vaso, dando paso a la gran basa circular, moldurada con cuarto de caña y cuarto de bocel." The basin has an arcade of fourteen arches inscribing horseshoe arches that contain diverse symbols: several flowers/rosettes, radiated and chained circles, a four-point star and a castle with three towers, a round-top door and a window over it. It rests on a wide circular lower base. The font cover is flat, plain and round, and fits the two metal staples from the old cover at the rim. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 4 May 2021] notes: "La Asunción de Nuestra Señora es la titular de su iglesia, renacentista [...] La portada es renacentista [...] La pila, buena, es románica, de vaso, con arcos de herradura incisos, con relieves geométricos y base circular." [NB: for the other font mentioned in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) [cf. supra] see BSI entry for Villasur de Herreros No. 2].
