Baptismal font in which San Pedro Regalado (1390-1456) is said to have been baptised. The small church dedicated to St. Helen became later the Parroquia del Salvador [source: www.archivalladolid.org]. The baptismal font consists of a plain hemispherical basin raised on a quadrangular block base with pannelled sides, thus looking like a composite object.
