The basin is hemispherical with a row of ball motif between two roll mouldings at the upper basin side; ribbed pattern on the basin side and underbowl, all typical of a late medieval period; octagonal upper base turning into a square lower base. Plain wooden lid on the basin. [NB: the Iglesia de El Salvador, also in Segovia capital, has a font that resembles this one in the ball motif and the presence of a ribbed pattern, although the ribs are diagonal in El Salvador font]
