Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. III: 7) and in Domeño (1992: 138 and pl. 2); medieval baptismal font; hemispheric basin ornamented with flowers inside circles; plain cylindrical base [NB: the CMdeN describes the basin as a plain conical basin ["taza cónica lisa"]; Domeño describes it as mentioned above ["Taza semiesférica decorada con flores inscritas en círculos"]; the CMdeN suggests a date around that of the consecration of the church, November 14, 1126. One of the motifs is rather odd, looking unfinished, but resembling a building. [We are grateful to the Institución Príncipe de Viana and to the photographers Larrión & Pimoulier for the image of this font]. [NB: the CMdeN mentions a stone holy-water stoup in the south side, west end but does not provide a date -- not listed]
