Church Notes: this baptismal font may have been originally in the nearby Ermita de Santa Maria de Gurutzeta / Kurutzeta
Described in Kortadi (2000?) as a baptismal font of pre-Romanesque date, ornamented with geometric motifs. Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a modern cylindrical pedestal base; the basin appears to be made of granite, and has three bands of motif all around: at the top is a row of horse-shoe arch-heads; in the middle, a band of saw-tooth; below, a row of round arch-heads; on the underbowl is a stump of the original base, probably part of the basin block; there is evidence of damage at the upper rim consistent with the removal of an old cover staple; the round pedestal is a modern replacement, decorated with mouldings and fluted sides. The claims to pre-Romanesque date for this basin are probably exaggerated; horse-shoe arches are often found on Spanish fonts of the later Romanesque period, for example in the Guadalajara province. The font may have been originally in the nearby Ermita de Santa Maria de Gurutzeta / Kurutzeta, which was the original parish church of this town.
