Sáenz Rodríguez (2004) reports a goblet-shaped font at the church of Nuestra Señora del Villar, in Zarzosa, in situ in 1970; much of the furniture was removed to the Museo Diocesano de Calahorra in 1976, but not the font, which may have been traded with an architect for his work. Sáenz Rodríguez (ibid.) refers to the Inventario... of Moya Valgallón (1985) which has it as medieval and plain.
