The font is visible in the illustration of the west end of the nave in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ), but it is not mentioned in the text. It consists of a roughly hemispherical basin, plain, raised on a squat circular base; it is a crude work on rough stone; some damage obvious, especially at the upper rim, probably due to the staples of the old coverl there is a new repair patch right next to one of the metal staples. The present wooden cover is round, flat and plain; modern.
