Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) as a 13th-century Romanesque baptismal font that was retained from the earlier building; it is small in size and made of reddish sandstone; the roughly hemispherical basin is decorated with robbed pattern, but the font is extremely eroded and the ribs are barely visible now, an indication the font was exposed to the elements for a long time; the base is a squat square pyramid of similar stone. The Enciclopedia… (ibid) suggests some similarities with the font at Villaescusa de Palositos [cf. Index entry]
