Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period ornamented with ribbed pattern inside and out, and two ondulating garlands; the centre ring has rope motif; the base is ornamented with a serpent being attacked/devoured by a lion. Bilbao (ibid.) suggests that, although the two fonts in this village are of different artistic level, they are the work of the same workshop, but not of the same artist [cf. Index entry for Villasandino No. 1]. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) indicates similarities between the fonts at Bañuelos del Rudrón, Grijalba, Villegas, Villamayor de Treviño, La Piedra, Villasandino, Rebolledo de Traspeña y Los Valcárceres: "El único testimonio románico que se conserva es la pila bautismal (120 cm de diámetro × 112 cm de altura), situada en el sotocoro de la nave del evangelio. Consta de una copa gallonada decorada con una cenefa de entrelazo en la parte superior y un tallo ondulante en la inferior. El pie presenta una escena de lucha entre un león –muy desgastado– y una serpiente. Desde el punto de vista tipológico y decorativo se puede emparentar con los ejemplares conservados en Bañuelos del Rudrón, Villamayor de Treviño, Grijalba, La Piedra, Villarmentero, Los Valcárceres y Villegas, fechables todos ellos en los años finales del siglo XII o primeros del XIII"
