Font Notes:
There is a drawing of this font by Fr. Fernando de Mendoza in the 1918 issue of the Boletin de la Comision de Monumentos Historicos y Artisticos de Navarra [reference to be completed]. Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ). Described and illustrated in Domeño (1992): medieval baptismal font; the large basin is ornamented with ribbed pattern on the sides and has a rope moulding at the upper rim; the upper part of the base is a crocket capital with heads among the leaves; below, a cylindrical volume with rope moulding at top and bottom, otherwise plain; the lower base is circular with balls at 90-degree angles, on a square volume.. The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) illustrates the font and remarks that, though the font is based on a medieval design, it is of a later date: "pila bautismal gallonada con decoración cordada en su taza y en su capitel-fuste que imita modelos medievales, pero que es muy posterior".
