Font Notes:
Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. II**: 691): baptismal font consisting of a modern basin, plain, and a base of the Romanesque period, ca. 1200 [probably from the Antigua Parroquia de San Esteban, the old parish from the medieval village; this church was later turned into chapel ["ermita"]]. Domeño (1992: 141) describes it as a composite baptismal font: both volumes of the base are medieval but the basin is a later addition; cylindrical pedestal raised on a lower base ornamented with ball motif. [cf. Index entry for Bearin No. 2 for a holy-water stoup of the 16th century in this church]
