Listed in Garma Ramírez (2000). Noted in Perez Arribas [s.d.]), with cognates at San Gil and Santisima Trinidad, both in Atienza, and the font at Zarzuela de Jadraque [cf. Index entries]. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009); it consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a row of nail-head motif [NB: the motif here is more like nail-head than dog-tooth, perhaps too fine a difference?] around the upper rim; ribbed pattern below, the ribs framed in round arches on double columns; raised on a short truncated cone base with fluted pattern all around; the basin retains one metal staple of the old cover, and has damage repaired at that spot; the one at the opposite end is still partly there too. This source suggests a date late in the 13th century. Noted and illustrated in Harrera Casado (2014).
