Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, one of several decorated with an arcade below a vine populated with zoomachia or hunting scenes; some, like Matanza de Soria, Vadillo and Zayuelas de Soria), are rather crude; others, like Cantalucia and Torreblacos, have flatter but more sophisticated carvings. The tails of the confromted animals become vines; the arcade around the underbowl could be read alternatively as a stylised ribbed pattern.
