Font Notes:
Noted in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004) as a baptismal font of the late Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en La Rioja (2008). Baptismal probably of the late-13th century and derivative of the ones produced by the Sierra de Cameros workshop; it consists of a plain bucket-shaped basin with a moulding at the underbowl where it meets the plain cylindrical pedestal base. It is a crude work. There is a remaining metal staple from the old cover at the upper rim of the basin.
