Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. III: 115) as a Gothic baptismal font of the 14th century; described and illustrated in Domeño (1992: 49, 150-151 and pl. 42, 43). Although the shape of this font is quite unremarkable, a faintly polygonal -almost rounded, but actually with sixteen sides- basin with vertical sides and a plain chamfer, also faintly polygonal; the base is, again, faintly polygonal though, for all intents and purposes, it could well be described as cylindrical, with two mouldings and a cylindrical lower base. The striking aspect of this Gothic font are the motifs housed in the Gothic arches of the arcade which is carved all around the basin sides. Domeño (ibid.: 49) describes the motifs thus [L--->R]: 1)chrismon; 2)pilgrim holding shell [?]; 3)coat of arms bearing three shells and identified in the Libro de Armeria del Reino de Navarra as belonging to the Señor de Arce; 4)eight-point star; 5)coat of arms with four stripes [unidentified]; 6)coat of arms bearing a cross [unidentified]; 7)coat of arms bearing two cauldrons [unidentified]; 8)coat of arms and reversed crescent [unidentified]; 9)eight-stroke wheel; 10)six-petal flower; 11)eight-stroke wheel; 12)coat of arms [unidentified]; 13)processional cross [?] possibly identifiable with the arms of the Collegiate Church of Roncesvalles, to which this church belonged in the middle ages; 14)coat of arms that may be a stylised version of the arms of Navarra; 15)Latin cross; 16)fleur-de-lis. [NB: the robed male figure could be read as having his right hand raised while the left holds an aspergilum, probably a priest (?), although Domeño identifies him as a pilgrim]. [NB: a badly damaged Romanesque font is kept in an annex ["dependencias"] -- cf. Index entry for Garinoiain No. 3; a holy-water stoup is listed for this church -- cf. Index entry for Garinoain No. 4; another medieval font listed in this town [cf. Index entry for Garínoain No. 2], in the Iglesia parroquial de San Martín
