Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 50) and in Domeño (1992: 161): baptismal font of the 16th century; bucket-shaped basin ornamented with broad ribs from top to bottom; the stem of the base is cylindrical and short; the lower base is round with several mouldings. The font is in fair shape except for significant damage to the upper rim of the basin, at opposite ends consistent with the forceful removal of the original lid staples.
