Described in Nieto Taberné (1994) and (2001): baptismal font of the Romanesque period, somewhat similar to the fonts ar Arcas and La Melgosa. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Cuenca (2009) as a baptismal font made of limestone in the 13th century. The hemispherical basin is decorated with thick ribs trimmed horizontally at the top; the upper surface of the rim is grooved, which gives the edge the shape of a roll moulding; the base consists of a very short stem and a narrow circular lower base, both showing considerable damage with a missing side. Also Romanesque may be a holy-water stoup made of red jasper and decorated with ribbed pattern and mouldings.
