Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 473); described and illustrated in Domeño (1992: 144 and pl. 156): medieval baptismal font; the cylindrical basin has a blind arcade of round arches resting on capitals and columns, and foliage motif in the spandrels; the lower side has a band of saw-tooth all around; cylindrical stem of the base; circular lower base with ball ornamentation. This font appeared ca. 1943 without the lower base [unless it was buried in the raised wooden floor] and had a plain flat wooden cover. By 1992 the lower base had been installed [or uncovered] and the font had acquired a fancier cover: a tallish pyramidal (octagonal) wooden lid that matched the new wainscotting of the inside walls of the church. Simeón Hidalgo Valencia (e-mail of 2 May 2014 to BSI) suggets the existence of a workshop in the valleys of Izagaondoa, Lizoáin, Unciti and Urraúl Bajo, which would include the fonts at Artáiz, Cemboráin, Grez, Idoate, Lérruz, Najurieta, Reta, Zuazu, and others in the area.
Credit and Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the Institución Príncipe de Viana, of Pamplona, Spain, for their early image of the font from the Archivo Uranga, and to the Institución and the photographers Larrión and Pimoulier for the later image of this font
