Holy-water stoup of a composite nature. The Catálogo Monumental (1990?) identifies the base as a capital originally from the Ermita de San Martín, now in ruins, which dates to the 13th century. The back side of the basin piece is plain, while there are eagles with volutes above them at the two front angles; the base is a plain cylindrical pedestal. This same source mentions the baptismal font at the same church, also using a capital from the said Ermita [cf. Index entry for Leache No. 1]. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008)
