Illustrated in Calderón Escalada (1971) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del Romanico en Castilla y Leon (2002- ) as a group of cognate fonts at: "Lomas de Villamediana, Villamediana de Lomas, Linares de Bricia, Crespos, Quintanilla-Colina y Brullés, [...] Villaescusa de Ebro [now in] San Martín de Elines), Quin[t]anilla de An, Revelillas, Ruijas, Espinosa de Bricia, Repudio y Salcedo." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 7 March 2021] reports "una pila rústica, lisa, con base cilíndrica", accurate on the rustic note but it is not plain [="lisa"] as this author claims. Like the font at Lomas de Villamediana, nearby, the round basin is between hemispheric and cylindrical, mounted on a crude pedestal base; if there is a plinth it is now hidden in the wooden flooring; the basin is decorated with triangular motifs between two bands of rope moulding; the triangles may have been an attempt by a local mason to imitate the saw-tooth motif so popular in the Valderredible fonts, not a vary succesful one, as the whole font is a very crude work of poor workmanship. No cover present.
