Described and illustrated by Rodríguez Montañés in Soria románica (2001: 73) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period ornamented with potent crosses like the ones found on the fonts at Villabuena and Garray, also in Soria. [NB: the www.gumaro.com web site mentions the "Iglesia de San Millán" and the "Ermita de la Virgen de la Cabeza" in this locality. This is not correct. The parish church is dedicated to St. Peter [=San Pedro], but the font is located in the Ermita [=rural chapel] de San Millán]
