Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. V**: 450, 451): baptismal font of a composite nature: the tub-like basin is dated to the 13th century, the period of the original church; it now appears to have been re-cut or "thoroughly cleaned", but it retains the iron staples of the old lid; the base appears to be a recycled quadrangular pilar of the 18th century ornamented with cartouches and mouldings.
