Scene Description: Source caption: " En su Iglesia parroquial de San Miguel Arcángel se encuentra una pila bautismal cuyo vaso lleva una decoración de bocel sogueado en su boca, con una cenefa inferior con moldura en forma de dientes de sierra, bajo la cual se desarrolla una decoración gallonada enmarcada entre arcos de medio punto doblados que se apoyan en columnas que se recogen en su base, descansando el vaso sobre un pedestal, posiblemente de época posterior, con forma de cono truncado que en su parte estrecha en contacto con el vaso a modo de toro superior lleva moldurado un cordón sogueado mientras que en el centro del pie como si fuera una gran escocia se decora mediante incisiones verticales que forman gallones invertidos, rematándose en su parte inferior con otra incisión horizontal formando así un grueso toro."

Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Cuenca (2009) as a baptismal font of the common type in this area: hemispherical basin decorated with broad ribs all around the sides and underbowl; above that, a band of zig-zag; rope moulding at the upper rim [="En el interior de la ermita se conserva una pila bautismal, un magnífico ejemplo del grupo de pilas bautismales más numerosas en la provincia: las decoradas a base de gajos o gallones. Esta pila, en concreto, presenta forma de copa y se caracteriza por la decoración que presenta el vaso, con forma de cuenco. Una decoración a base de amplios gallones y una amplia cenefa de dientes de sierra y borde sogueado. Los dientes de sierra, precisa Nieto
Taberné [2001], nos acercan a las pilas de Castillejo del Romeral o Villar del Maestre."]
