Described in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period consisting of a round basin plain but for a thin moulding at the upper rim; raised on a plain circular base. The basin is roughly hemispherical and it is raised on a round splaying pedestal base; the only decoration on the font is a roll moulding at the upper rim, and a groove on the upper surface of the same rim. The font appears to have been drastically cleaned, perhaps re-tooled. No cover present but there are two metal staples in the upper rim from an earlier cover.
