Described and illustrated in Nieto Taberné (2001) as a crude bucket-shaped Romanesque baptismal basin mounted on a very short cylindrical pedestal; the upper rim is ornamented with a double band of saw-tooth motif (or zig-zag), while the rest of the basin sides appear to have rather irregular incisions in zig-zag and geometric patterns. It is raised on a stumpy round base and it appears fairly battered, especially at the upper rim. Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Cuenca (2009) as a Romanesque font decorated with a band of zig-zag on the basin
