Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66000] [accessed 1 August 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Cristóbal de Víllodas. Vista frontal de una pila bautismal medieval; presenta taza lisa y pie de cuatro columnas adosadas a un núcleo central". Described in Bilbao (1994: 134) as a medieval baptismal font; the plain basin is raised on a base formed by a broad central column and four constructional colonnettes. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The font, like the fabric of the church itself, is probably 16th-century, in a late-Gothic style.
