Listed, described and illustrated in the Catálogo monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) as a baptismal font of the medieval period; the hemispheric basin has a rope motif at the upper rim; below it there is a band of fishbone motif and an agel showing its wings; the lower basin and underbowl sides are covered in a ribbed pattern. The base is a short square pedestal ornamented with human figures and geometric motif. The base is sunk in the wooden floor. There is a plain modern flat wooden font-cover. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/navarra_Lizasoain.pdf] [accessed 2 March 2023] notes that the present building is 19th century, a replacement of the original church that stood on a different site; the entry does not mention the font].
