Described in Alvarez Martínez (1999: 265, 266) as one in a group of pedestal fonts with a square lower base, with either hemispherical or conical shaped basins of the 12th-13th century, although this particular one may be a later example ["ejemplo tardío que puede sobrepasar el marco cronológico"] of the type. The ornamentation consists usually of a blind arcade of Romanesque arches.
