Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990-?, v. III: 142). Described in Domeño (1992: 138) as a hemispheric basin ornamented with four thick mouldings on which appear four heads; mounted on a cylindrical base. The motif of the head at the bottom of a cylindrical moulding or rib is most developed on the font at Elcano, also in Navarra [cf. Index entry]. No entry found for this church in the Enciclopedia del romanico. [cf. Index entry for Artariáin No. 2 for an interesting holy-water stoup in this same church].
