Baptismal font of stone decorated in the Renaissance style and dated 1563 by an inscription. The entry for this church in https://parroquiasanlesmes.org/templo/arte-y-fe/ [accessed 18 April 2026] reports a baptismal font of the 16th century in it: "A los pies de tan magnífica obra [i.e., el relieve “Llanto sobre Cristo Muerto”], se encuentra la pila bautismal del siglo XVI en la que durante generaciones los hijos de Burgos han recibido el bautismo." The entry in Elena Martín Martínez de Simón's blog, Efeméride 30 de enero: San Lesmes, patrón de la ciudad de Burgos [https://www.ui1.es/blog-ui1/autor/elena.martin.martinezdesimon] [accessed 18 April 2026] notes the pulpit of stone and the font: "Dentro de los bienes muebles de la iglesia cabe destacar el púlpito de piedra, realizado por Juan de Salas, discípulo de Diego de Siloé, en el siglo XVI. De la misma fecha es la pila bautismal que se encuentra, en la actualidad, en el ábside derecho." There is another object of perhaps related interest: it is monolithic and octagonal in shape, and stands in the south aisle, with acover on it; the sides are decorated with simple panels with moulded edges [could it ber an earlier font? [cf. ImagesArea]].
