Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009). The baptismal font is bucket-shaped, decorated with a single moulding below the upper rim; it stands directly on a round-to-square lower base, moulded at the top and with angle spurs below. It is an uncommon design for this region [there is another such at Jodra del Pinar [cf. Index entry], more in keeping with types of fonts found in Burgos and Palencia; this same source notes a small and shallow cylindrical holy-water stoup of crude manufacture, located at the entrance, on the right side. No date given: "A lo[s] pies de la ermita nos encontramos con una pila bautismal muy sencilla, con una copa en forma de cono, ribeteada en su parte más ancha, y una moldura en bocel que la recorre. Se apoya sobre una basa cuadrada en la que los elementos más destacados serían las lengüetas, a modo de garras que ya hemos visto en las basas de las columnas, así como el anillo ornamental que decora la parte más estrecha. A la entrada, a nuestra derecha y horadada en el poyete que recorre la ermita, podemos ver una pequeña pila de agua bendita, cilíndrica, poco profunda, de tosca factura pero de gran funcionalidad."
