The entry for this ermita in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] mentions both a baptismal font and a re-cycled holy-water stoup, but does not include details off the font; of the stoup, however, it mentions that its base is made up of two former capitals [="sirven de pie a la pila benditera, una decorada con una cabeza antropomorfa tocada con corona y otra con hojas rematadas en bolas."] The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 26 April 2022] dates the ermita to the late-12th century but mentions neither font nor stoup in it.
