Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-) and in Domeño (1992): Romanesque font of the medieval period; cylindrical basin ornamented with low relief arcade of blind round arches; hemispheric underbowl; the upper base is rounded with a roll moulding at each end; the lower volume of the base is square. Raised on a square plinth. [NB: the Capilla-panteón of the Guarro family in which the font is located inside the church is on the north side]. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008), with a suggested date of the early yaers of the 13th century: "la pila bautismal situada al fondo del muro del evangelio. Presenta una gran base cuadrada, desde la que se alza un pesado fuste cilíndrico con dos grandes molduras baquetonadas en sus extremos y taza semiesférica en la parte inferior y cilíndrica en la superior, alrededor de la que encontramos una sencilla decoración a base de arquillos doblados de medio punto. Su configuración apunta la misma cronología que la iglesia."
