Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-); described and illustrated in Domeño (1992): late-Romanesque baptismal font; the hemispheric basin has a blind arcade of round arches in very shallow relief, the columns resting on the upper ends of the leaf-like ornamentation of the underbowl; the stem of the base is a cylindrical pedestal with a thin roll moulding at top and bottom; the lower base is round and ornamented with blind arches. The modern wooden cover is in the shape of an octagonal pyramid, resting on the upper rim; two of the panels of the pyramid are hinged and open out to give access to the inner well of the basin. The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) remarks that it is probably dated to the original fabric of this church, 1220s or 1230s.
