Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ). Described and illustrated in Domeño (1992). Medieval baptismal font; the hemispheric basin has high-relief ornamentation: a rope motif runs around the upper basin sides; below it, a series of large romboid frames have half-ball motif in the centre; another thick rope motif at the upper base with band of chevrons underneath; a row of half-ball motifs and a plain moulding on the stem of the round base; tthe lower base appears to have some reliefs on the side -one may be a shield- but they are not discernible in the sources. Alvarez Martínez (2007) remarks on the use of the ball motif to symbolise perfection and alludes to the state of humanity before the original sin.
