Martín González (1970) lists a Mozarabic holy-water stoup of the 10th century in this church. Illustrated in Castilla y León (1999); the stone holy-water stoup located at the south entrance to the church appears to be a converted leaf capital, still mounted on a cylindrical shaft of the column; the basin interior was in the concave rib pattern popular in fonts and stoups of the 13th and 14th centuries. [NB: this church has a medieval baptismal font (cf. Wamba No. 1) and a second stoup (cf. Wama No. 3)].
