Described in Garcia Guinea (1979) and illustrated in his later work (1996): the basin is roughly hemispherical, somewhat elongated along the vertical axis and decorated with concave ribs the bottom 1/3 of which have convex rib inserts; it is raised on a cylindrical stem and a rounded lower base, both plain. No cover present. Noted in García de Castro Valdés ([s.d.] 1998?). The entry for this church in Oscar M. Ruiz Pérez' Cantabria Románica [www.cantabriaromanica.com] notes: "La pila de Santa María la Mayor de Navamuel en [...] Valderredible, gallonada y de buenas dimensiones se ubica además en un baptisterio construido en un anejo que esconde la portada original de la Iglesia." The basin is damaged in the upper 2/3; the lower concave ribbing appears quite regular; and the short pedestal base is plain. No cover is present.
