Scene Description: the restoration of the font being carried out in October 2009. The article by Aser Vidondo notes: "La pila ya está lista, y la sillería, para noviembre. La pila es hispanoflamenca del siglo XV, de piedra labrada y policromada. Consta de un vaso lobulado y un pie. La base se habría perdido durante un viaje a una muestra internacional en la que se expuso. Lleva esculpidas varias cabezas en el vaso, y un escudo gótico de la villa en el pie. "Es una pila de mucho valor artístico. Estaba quebrada en algunas partes, y bastante sucia", recuerda el párroco, Antonio Pérez-Mosso. Su restauración duró 15 días, la ejecutó la empresa Sagarte, y ha costado 3.939 euros. Según un informe previo de Sagarte, la pieza había sufrido "deterioros propios de manipulaciones incontroladas", fruto de "varios cambios de ubicación dentro del templo, y traslados a exposiciones internacionales (París, Sevilla...)". El vaso se encontraba "partido en varios fragmentos adheridos con argamasa", y apuntan que "como refuerzo, se añadió una grapa de hierro en el canto". Asimismo, señalan que "ha perdido gran parte del relieve", y que "filtraciones de agua habrían ocasionado disgregación, exfoliaciones y desplacados de material pétreo". Los trabajos se ejecutaron dentro del templo, y han consistido en eliminar morteros, efectuar una limpieza química de la piedra, reintegrar volúmenes y consolidar la piedra, sacando los colores originales. "Ahora está preciosa. Luce", asegura el párroco."

Described and illustrated in Uranga & Iñiguez (1973: vol. 5: 259 and pl. 368), in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV*: 38 and pl. 52) and in Domeño (1992: 100 et al.). The basin is polylobulated, both in and out, with eight lobes; seven of the lobes are ornamented externally with a face: 1)John the Baptist; 2)Zacharias; 3)Elijah; 4)Jonah; 5)Daniel; 6)Jeremiah; 7)Isaiah; the last lobe, 8)has a pelican feeding its young. Each of the Prophets has his name written on the hat or head-piece, while the word "PELICANO" appears on the eighth lobe above the animal. Between the eight images, eight very realistic ring handles have been carved on the stone, imitating metal. The cylindrical base starts at the top with a roll moulding and then a band saw-tooth motif; ther are several slanted roll mouldings, with ball motifs between them, although the front side has a shield with a coat-of-arms which Domeño identifies as the town's own; there is row of ball motif below this, then a roll moulding and finally, at the very bottom, a very squat blind arcade resting directly on the ground. The piece retains the original polychromy. Domeño (ibid.) refers to the Well of Moses work by the Burgundian master Claus Sluter (although the figures are not exactly the same ones), now in the museum at Dijon, as a likely antecedent of this work; she informs that Sluter's work was known in Navarre through one of the collaborators of Jehan Lome, who worked on the sepulchre of Charles III and Leonor of Navarre, now in the central nave of the cathedral of Pamplona. She also refers to the legend of the pelican who feeds his young from the blood from its breast as a symbol of Christ. [NB: see also a similar treatment of font themes on the font at Calahorra cathedral (in nearby Logroño prov.), and the framed heads also present on the Stoke Abbot font, in the county of Dorset, in England; see also the later font at Rumengol / Le Faou, in Bretagne, France, for a certain similarity in the treatment of the ornamentation, and the mid-19th century baptismal font at Wilton, Wiltshire, England, for another font that incorporates the prominent heads and large rings]. Noted in Plazaola Artola (2008?). An article in the 31 October 2009 edition of the Diario de Navarra [https://www.diariodenavarra.es/archivo/actualidad/20091031/otrascomarcas/aoiz-restaura-pila-bautismal-silleria-coro-iglesia.html] [accessed 7 March 2023] informs of the restoration undergone by this font: " Según un informe previo de Sagarte, la pieza había sufrido "deterioros propios de manipulaciones incontroladas", fruto de "varios cambios de ubicación dentro del templo, y traslados a exposiciones internacionales (París, Sevilla...)". El vaso se encontraba "partido en varios fragmentos adheridos con argamasa", y apuntan que "como refuerzo, se añadió una grapa de hierro en el canto". Asimismo, señalan que "ha perdido gran parte del relieve", y que "filtraciones de agua habrían ocasionado disgregación, exfoliaciones y desplacados de material pétreo". Los trabajos se ejecutaron dentro del templo, y han consistido en eliminar morteros, efectuar una limpieza química de la piedra, reintegrar volúmenes y consolidar la piedra, sacando los colores originales." [NB: unconfirmed information relates that the original base may be in the Louvre, in Paris]
