Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66065] [accessed 9 August 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de Santa Catalina de Andollu [...] pila del siglo XVI, pero con influencias góticas. Tiene en su pie tres baquetones, al estilo medieval, bolas entre los baquetones laterales y escudo con llaves en el centro. La copa es lisa y presenta decoración de cordelaje". Described in Bilbao (1994: 108) as a baptismal font of the 16th century with Gothic influences; the basin is plain except for a rope moulding around the lower part; the base is ornamented with roll mouldings between wich are set ball motifs, as well as a single shield bearing keys. Bilbao (ibid.) cites entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria, and in López de Guereñu. Listed in Arriola Loyola (1996: 155). The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/alava_ANDOLLU.pdf] [accessed 24 June 2024] mentions no font in it. The plain basin and the decorated pedestal base are likely from different periods, the base of a much later time.
