Listed in Martín González (1970: 267) as two Mozarabic marble capitals now used as a single holy-water stoup. Fontaine (1973-1977) mentions two very large capitals, one on top of the other, which are now used as a holy-water stoup; the two with very "baroque" Mozarabic vegetal ornamentation. These two capitals belong to the "mozárabe leonés" style [one is depicted in an ill. in Fontaine (1973-1977) on which this description is based].
