Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin is decorated with an arcade of round arches containing different motifs (cross, palmettes, etc.) in the spandrels, and one of the arches has a Greek cross inscribed in a circle; its columns are decorated with floral stalks and tree-like rugosities; beaded-tape pattern appears just below the upper rim; there are two rope mouldings around the moulded base. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ), which notes the fonts at Cojobar, Madrigal del Monte, Mecerreyes, Zalduendo, Tornadijo, Valdorros, Villamayor de los Montes and Mazariegos as sharing design, ornamentation and dating at the late-12th or early 13th century: "El único testimonio románico que se conserva en su iglesia parroquial es una pila bautismal realizada en un bloque de piedra caliza. Consta de una basa circular (20 cm de altura) moldurada con boceles y pequeñas cenefas sogueadas, sobre la que apoya una copa semiesférica (118 cm de diámetro × 65 cm de altura) recorrida por una serie de arcos de medio punto que descansan sobre columnas de capiteles lisos y fustes decorados en algunos casos con formas helicoidales. En las enjutas aparecen esculpidos motivos vegetales muy estilizados y cruces inscritas en círculos. Desde el punto de vista tipológico y decorativo guarda gran parecido con las pilas de Madrigal del Monte, Cojóbar, Valdorros, Mecerreyes, Tornadijo y Villamayor de los Montes, todas ellas de finales del siglo XII y comienzos del XIII."
