The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/asturias_LOS_PANDOS.pdf] [accessed 5 October 2025] notes the plain baptismal font: "Se complementa la presencia de restos románicos en el templo con una serie de piezas sueltas, y de difícil datación, situadas en el atrio de la iglesia. Entre ellas, una gran pila bautismal monolítica, muy tosca y carente de decoración u otro rasgo que nos ayude a establecer una filiación románica". A very crude and eroded basin located in the west porch of the Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena de los Pandos, in the concejo of Villaviciosa. The church is originally early-13th century; the round tub font could be that as well.
