Noted in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004). Noted in the Encilopedia del románico en La Rioja (2008) as probably a holy-water stoup originally from Valdeosera, although the Enciclopedia… (ibid.) raises the possibility that it might have been the original baptismal font there; it is a hemispherical basin decorated with ribbed apttern below a band of dog-tooth; raised on a short round pedestal base. The Encilopedia… (ibid.) further notes its shape and decoration somewhat resemble those of the font at San Miguel de Robres and suggests a date in the late 12th century. [cf. Index entry for Valdeosera for the font originally from that church]
