Described in Ruiz Montejo (1992): simply executed Romanesque font; the basin surface is ribbed with a band of interlace on the upper part, which matches the similar motif found on the inner arch of the church's entrance; narrow cylindrical base splaying slightly out. Described in Garma Ramírez (2000) as a baptismal font contemporary with the Romanesque church; the upper basin side is decorated an interlace [="lacería de 'ochos' continuos"] similar to those on the archivaullt of the portal. Also in Nieto Taberné (2000), Layna Serrano (2001). Wooden cover, flat and plain. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) with date in the 13th century. Herrera Casado (2014) dates the font to the 13th century, as well.
