Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font in the Romanesque style but probably made in the Gothic period; hemispherical basin decorated with broad ribs and with a moulding at the lower end, raised on a plain round stem and rounded lower base with moulding. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed November 2022] reports that the church was built in 1969 and received a baptismal font originally from Eterna; his entry for Eterna notes: "la pila, románica con gallones en diagonal y cenefa ancha en relieve vegetal con fecha, fue traída en 1997 al depósito diocesano y en la actualidad está en la parroquia de San Pablo, de Burgos." [cf. BSI entry for Burgos No. 4 for another medieval font said also to be originally from Eterna]
