Described in Bilbao (1994: 107) as a plain medieval baptismal font. Bilbao (ibid.) cites entry by Portilla and Enciso Viana in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The entry for Adana in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/alava_ADANA.pdf] [accessed 16 May 2025] does not mention the font, which probably means it is of a later date than the original church.
