García Gómez (2007) notes a series of fonts in the area that share a common charateristic in their decoration, round arch-heads with fitting ribs inside (fonts at Blacos, Garray, Muriel de la Fuente, San Esteban de Gormaz and Zayuelas de Soria). Baptismal font consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with foliage relief raised over a cylindrical stem with a ring moulding at the upper end, and a square lower base; the staples of the old cover remain in the upper rim.
