Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/soria_PEÑALBA_DE_SAN_ESTEBAN.pdf] [accessed 4 September 2025]: "A los pies del templo se conserva una pila bautismal tardorrománica, de 75 cm de altura × 108 cm de diámetro. Tiene perfil semiesférico, con registro superior de motivos anulares e incisa arquería de medio punto inferior." The large basin is roughly hemispherical, with a broad moulding at the upper rim, a band of doughnut-like motifs all around just below the upper rim and a pattern of ribs below the band mentioned above; on a squat round base; the upper rim still retains one (?) staple from the old cover.
