Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) as a baptismal font with a roughly hemispheric basin in which the "vertical" divsions on the outer face all start from the upper side roll moulding down towards the underbowl; the divisions are not however vertical, but take angular shapes to accommodate the assortment of motifs in them. The motifs are identified and studied in Domeño (1992) [L-->R]:1)a naked man with a fish in his right hand, while the left holds his own penis; 2)two monstruous heads; 3)lancée cross surrounded by foliage and with a demonic head below it; 4)a head-less man seats on a chamber-pot (?) while his left hand is on his genitals; female head and a two-headed reptile, one of which heads has a significan protrusion, a dragon below; 5)monster / devilish figure with human hands holding object; 6)dragon; 7)reptile; 8)lion; 9)naked woman below monstruous head. Described in the Gran Enciclopedia Navarra (1990). [NB: the CMdeN (ibid.) mentions a holy-water stoup in the S side, by the door, but not its date -- not included in this Index]
