Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV*: 132) as a baptismal font contemporary with the original building [i.e., 12th century]; a plain hemispheric basin raised on a cylindrical stem. Described in Domeño (1992: 136) as a medieval baptismal font with the same characteristics as mentioned in the CMdeN. Noted also in the Enciclopedia del romanico en Navarra, which gives some measurements. The roughly hemispherical basin is raised on a cylindrical pedestal base, and a round-to-square lower base, all three parts plain. No cover present.
