Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) as a baptismal font originally from the old parish church at Cañizares, but reported ca. 2009 in the nearby church at Terrazas [cf. Index entry], where it shares the crowded baptistery space with the medieval font of that church. The font is described in this source as small and decorated with inscribed crosses and ribbed pattern. [NB: the Enciclopedia… does not have an entry for Cañizares].
