Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) as a smallish baptismal font of the 13th century made of limestone, with similarities with the fonts at nearby Bustares, Gascueña de Bornova and El Ordial, and those at Aragosa and Villaseca de Henares. The upper rim has the usual moulding, and crude two-strand ribs decorate the sides; raised on a cylindrical base with surprisingly well-rendered rope moulding towards the splaying lower end. The Enciclopedia… notes that there may be a lower base that is now buried in the flooring.
