Described in Molina Chamizo (1994): like many of the "new" churches of the Campo de Montiel, the font at the parish of San Esteban dates from the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century; the font has stylized ribs below a torus which runs under the rim; the base is very slender and shaped like a vase (description based on ill. in Molina Chamizo, 1994)
