Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009). Romanesque bucket-shaped baptismal font made of reddish sandstone; decorated with a single moulding on the upper rim; there are several holes in the rim that witness the presence of the cover staples; appears weathered. As with the font at Hinojosa [originally Torralbilla] [cf. Index entry], this shape is not common among Guadalajara fonts of the Romanesque period, being closer to designs in Burgos and Palencia regions.
