Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a Romanesque font decorated with ribbed pattern. Described in Rodríguez Montañés, in his "Panorama general del arte románico en Soria" [http://inicia.es/de/FSMLR/panorama.htm] as a Romanesque baptismal font of the late 12th century bearing the fragment of an inscription [the remaining text, "QUI CREDIDERIT E" is probably the Mark 16:16 text found on some fonts: "Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit : qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur" = "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." or variations of the same]. García Gómez (2007) notes the inscription as well.
