Scene Description: "La portada, de amplio arco apuntado del siglo XIII, con columnas, capiteles y arquivoltas, tiene un tejaroz con canecillos lisos; la puerta es adintelada, formando un tímpano vacío y casi la mitad de la puerta queda oculta por la construcción del paredón de la torre, de grandes proporciones, también medieval" [source: Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 16 November 2021]]

Described in Bilbao (1994: 127) as a plain medieval baptismal font. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 16 November 2021] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a San Juan Bautista, conserva su planta románica, aunque retocada con posteriores reformas [...] portada, de amplio arco apuntado del siglo XIII, con columnas, capiteles y arquivoltas [...] puerta cegada también medieval. En el hueco de esta puerta está colocada la pila bautismal, sencilla." The plain hemispherical basin is hard to date but the base appears to be of a later date. There is no cover present but there are metal anchorings for a cover in the upper rim of the basin.
