Described in Bilbao (1994: 26, 109) as a Gothic baptismal font with Mudejar influences, dated to the 15th century. The roughly hemispherical basin, ornamented with linked circles and cruciform motifs, rests directly on a square lower base that is ornamented with zig-zag motif and balls at the angles. Bilbao (ibid.) cites entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria, in López de Guereñu and in Portilla. The entry for this church in the Catalogo Momunental de la Diócesis de Vitoria, TOMO IV. La Llanada Alavesa Occidental.

XV de gran interés que nos hace pensar en la existencia de un edificio anterior a la actual iglesia, sobre la que se construiría ésta.
La pila tiene una taza decorada en su bordura con sogueado muy poco marcado y en su parte alta tiene una franja ancha de círculos entrelazados y de cruces de brazos curvados. El pie es de base cuadrada y se apea en un cuerpo adornado con dientes de sierra sobre el que descansa otro con cuatro bolas en sus ángulos y cruces de brazos curvos entre ellas."
