Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a a moulding below the upper rim and another marking the beginning of the underbowl; between them, on the southeast side [present orientation in 2019] is a 6-petal floral motif inscribed in a Star of David, in a circle; the underbowl end in a flat moulding; the stem of the base is cylindrical and plain; the lower base or plinth is wider, circular and plain. No cover present but there is large notch damage to the upper rim, south side, consistent with there having been a metal anchoring from an old font on that spot. [NB: also in Arroyuelos is the pre-Romanesque / Mozarabic [10thC?] rock church San Acisclo y Santa Victoria (Ermita rupestre de Arroyuelos)]
