Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-). Described and illustrated in Domeño (1992): Romanesque baptismal font; the deep bucket-shaped basin has a roll moulding with ball motif ornamentation below the rim, and two schematic human figures and ball motif at the lower side; the stem of the base is cylindrical and ornamented with a roll moulding about half-way up; the lower base is round and ornamented with ball motif; a plinth has been built around the lower base. A very crude work; has paint on the basin sides. The font has a plain flat wooden cover with an metal bar lock. The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) notes a number of Romanesque basins of similar shape in Adoain, Aristu, Elcoaz, Jacoisti, Ayechu, Ongoz. Irurozqui, Arangozqui and Zabalza, in the same valley, and Azparren, Equiza, Uli Alto, Meoz and Igal in nearby areas.
