Baptismal font described in Bilbao (1996). The entry for this village in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_ISAR.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] mentions two medieval churches here, San Martín and Santa María, both parochial originally; the latter, a building of the 12th or 13th century, was abandoned at the time of writing [ca. 2000], awaiting restoration, with no font mentioned in it. The former, the Iglesia Parroquial de Iglesia de San Martín, is identified in the Enciclopedia as a late-Romanesque building re-built in the 15th or 16th century; only the portal and a stone font remain of the original building: "conserva una portada románica algo tardía […] se conserva también una pila bautismal de traza románica (130 cm de diámetro × 94 cm de altura), colocada a los pies de la nave del evangelio. La copa se ornamenta con gallones que se superponen a arcos de medio punto. El pie es completamente liso." The entry for this location in the Archidiócesis de Burgos web site [https://www.archiburgos.es/parroquias/parroquia-s-martin-y-sta-maria-isar/] [accessed 29 January 2022] reports San Martin as 13th-century with a Romanesque baptismal font ["La pila románica, con gallones y decoración geométrica y fuste cilíndrico."] It mentions the other church, "Santa María, románico-gótica" but not a font in it. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] notes the font as being in the Romanesque style: "pila bautismal de traza románica (130 cm de diámetro × 94 cm de altura), colocada a los pies de la nave del evangelio. La copa se ornamenta con gallones que se superponen a arcos de medio punto. El pie es completamente liso." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 21 March 2023] notes three churches: the two mentioned above as well as the surviving early-Gothic apse of the Templars' church, aka Ermita de San Pedro de los Templarios; only the actual parish church, that of San Martín, has a font now: "La pila es románica, buena, con gallones y decoración geométrica y fuste cilíndrico". The same source describes the second church: "dedicada a Santa María y fue antigua parroquia. Es románico-gótica [...] La portada es románica", without a mention of a font in it. No font is mentioned in the second church, the Iglesia de Santa María, in any of the above sources.
