Described by Rodríguez Montañés in Soria románica (2000) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period decorated with a scene of dogs chasing/hunting deer. Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, one of several decorated with an arcade below a vine populated with zoomachia or hunting scenes; some (Matanza de Soria, Vadillo and Zayuelas de Soria), are rather crude; others, like Cantalucia and Torreblacos, have flatter but more sophisticated carvings.
