Baptismal font probably of the 15th or 16th century consisting of a large octafoil basin (eight lobes inside and out) raised on a base with eight thick buttresses or projections corresponding to the lobes of the basin. This font, although different in shape, shares many similarities with that of Aoiz, in Navarra, as has been pointed out in Domeño (1992: 115) [NB: the framed heads are also present on the Stoke Abbot font, in the county of Dorset, in England]. The heads of the Apostles and/or saints in this font are quite similar to the heads of the Prophets in the Aoiz font, as are other details of ornamentation such as the fake rings, etc. The La Rioja web site describes de font as "estilo Reyes Católicos", i.e., 15th-16th century. Described and illustrated in Troncoso Durán (2004), who identifies the heads of S. Prudencio, the Apostle James [Santiago], and notes the presence of a pelican feeding its young, a well-known Christian symbol, shells, monsters, etc. [NB: the font is said to be located on the exact spot where san Emeterio y san Celedonio were killed].
