Font Notes:
The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 29 April 2021] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a la Expectación del Parto de Nuestra Señora, es románica [...] La portada es también románica [...] la pila es románica, sencilla, con borde, (la del agua bendita está hecha aprovechando un capitel románico con escenas). Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_COLINA_DE_LOSA.pdf] [accessed 29 April 2021] as a holy-water stoup made from a former capital that may have originated in a different church; the four sides are carved and represent two scenes: the Massacre of the Innocents and the Decapitation of St. John the Baptist [="Reutilizado como pila de agua bendita hay un capitel exento que, aunque muy deterioradas, tiene las cuatro caras labradas. Ello y la inexistencia de parecidos entre el tipo de figuras que lleva y la decoración de este templo nos hace pensar que pueda proceder de otro edificio. En él se narran dos episodios: la Matanza de los Inocentes y la Degollación de San Juan Bautista. Sus figuras están dotadas de mayor corporeidad que las que vemos en los capiteles de la portada y responden a una estética ya plenamente románica, mientras que en la portada los procedimientos técnicos empleados y la concepción del relieve parecen indicarnos modos de hacer indígenas anteriores."]
