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.
