Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. V*: 480): baptismal font of the 16th century; bucket-shaped basi raised on a cylindrical stem with a broad lower ring moulding; square lower base. On-site notes: plain chalice-shaped font; central drain hole in the basin; it is very worn and has been chipped at the upper rim, where one metal loop from the original cover hinges still remains. The present font was probably introduced in this church during the 16th-century modifications made to the original 13th-century church].
