Described and illustrated in Alonso Romero (2003). A bucket-shaped unmounted baptismal font of the Romanesque period now in the "museum" set up inside the Concatedral de San Pedro in Soria (city); the object is ornamented with an interlace or braid [too worn to be ascertained] motif all around the upper basin side; there is a blind arcade of intersecting round arches in shallow relief all around the basin side, with a horizontal line all around its middle. The stone appears very worn, probably from extended exposure to the elements. [NB: as of 2017 this church houses also the restored font originally from Sauquillo de Alcazar -- cf. BSI entry fo Sauquillo de Alcazar for the full record on that font]
