Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) as a Romanesque baptismal font decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, and an arcade of round arches with rounded ends that gives them the appearance of horseshoe arches, and therefore relates this font to those at Henche, Las Inviernas and El Picazo, in Guadalajara province, and the font at Valdemeca in Cuenca; raised on a square-pyramidal base with moulding and piping, similar to those in the three fonts at Atienza (San Bartolomé, San Gil and La Trinidad).
