The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 7 May 2021] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a Santa María Magdalena, es gótica [...] La pila es de copa lisa y tiene base y pie poligonales". The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_SUZANA.pdf] [accessed 7 May 2021] notes "Aunque el edificio presenta formas esencialmente góticas, aún se pueden ver las trazas románicas, conservándose una ventana en el testero de la cabecera y la portada primitiva. El elemento más señalado de este estilo es la portada de doble arquivolta de medio punto", but mentions no font in it. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin devoid of any ornamentation, raised on an octagonal pedestal base; basin and base appear to be of a different kind of stone, and in different styles, so the font could well be a composite, the base later than the basin. No cover present but the upper rim of the basin shows a metal anchoring staple and related damage to the stone.
