Described by Huerta Huerta in Soria románica (2000: 76) as a holy-water stoup of the Romanesque period; the base is described as a cluster of constructional columns ornamented with rope moulding. The object consists of an oblong, almost oval inside and out, basin with a few large ribs on three sides, the fourth, the back, being cemented to the wall; the base as per Huerta Huerta's description above, on a small rectangulat lower base and a quadrangular plinth; oddly enough the inner basin has a metal lining insert. [cf. BSI entry for Alpanseque No. 1 for the baptismal font in this church]
