Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font probably of the late 12th or early 13th century consisting of a hemispherical basin with a band of round arch-heads below the upper rim; raised on a plain cylindrical base. The present cover is modern; metal staples from the old cover remain at the upper rim of the basin. The work is crude and the decoration somewhat uneven. The Enciclopedia… (ibid.) notes a similar font at nearby Lozares de Tobalina.
