Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a re-used column and capital that now support the round holy-water stoup; the capital is decorated with vegetal scrolls, a four-petalled flower in a aquare and a lion head on the visible sides; the basin itself is round, with a moulding at the upper rim; it is painted in a reddish-ochre colour: "una columnilla usada como pie para la pila del agua bendita y que fue tallada para ir colocada en un ángulo, sin duda como soporte de alguna de las ventanas del crucero. Consta de pequeña
basa ática sobre plinto, con corto fuste y capitel decorado con dos hileras de hojas de las que penden abultadas bolas, apareciendo una cabecita felina en medio de las superiores. Este motivo decorativo es muy común en la comarca, pudiéndolo encontrar en iglesias tan emblemáticas como son las de San Pantaleón de Losa, Tabliega, Siones, San Pelayo de Ayega o Vallejo de Mena, apareciendo igualmente en San Martín de Elines y en otras más de ese entorno meridional cántabro."
