Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) and in Domeño (1992): Romanesque baptismal font probably of the time of the original church, ca. 1200; the hemispheric basin has ribbed pattern ornamentation and is raised on a plain cylindrical stem; the lower base is square with ball motif [or are they heads?] at the angles. Plain flat wooden cover; modern. The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) informs that the church is now abandoned in mostly in ruins, but the font had been moved to the parish church of Santa María de Ermitagaña, in Pamplona.
