Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period decorated with a ribbed pattern, the ribs having a pyramidal section; raised on a round-to-square squat base; plinth appears buried into the ground. Makeshift font cover, falt and plain; modern. The Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/soria_REJAS_DE_SAN_ESTEBAN.pdf] [accessed 2 September 2025] reports this as a crude and severely battered font, a cylindrical basin on a quadrangular base: "una maltrecha y tosca pila bautismal tardorrománica de perfil cilíndrico decorada externamente con gajos que apoya sobre basamento cuadrangular." [cf. Index entry for Rejas de San Esteban No. 2 for a later font listed in the other church -San Martín- of this viilage]
