Described and illustrated in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004) and in the Enciclopedia del románico en La Rioja (2008) as a Gothic font with some reminiscences of the Romanesque style of fonts of the area (e.g., the decorated frieze on the basin side and the ribbed underbowl; the side decorations are geometric, some stylised leaves, all inscribed in circles; raised on a squat stem with piping decoration, and a splaing lower base, also round. The font, which is now colourfully painted, was originally from the old rural chapel of Santa María of Davalillo, also known as Iglesia de San Pedro, according to Sáenz Rodríguez (ibid.) Noted and illustrated in Rioja Románica [https://www.riojaromanica.com/categorias/pilas-bautismales#] [accessed 19 November 2020]: "Esta pila bautismal procede del antiguo templo de Davalillo. Es de características góticas pero con rasgos que la delatan como continuadora de la tradición románica: su friso superior decorado y su tipología de copa gallonada. El pie de la pila consiste en una columna interior con cuatro columnillas adosadas sobre una base circular. La taza tiene gallones en su mitad inferior y y un friso con bajorrelieves de flores de cuatro pétalos y estrellas de seis puntas. Ambos motivos están inscritos en círculos. Los gaslllones están polocromados en negro y el friso tiene restos de tonos rojos y verdes."
