Described in Bilbao (1994: 26, 111) as a composite baptismal font: the plain medieval basin, originally from the now abandoned site of Uriarte, is raised on a square pedestal ornamented with angels and dated to the 16th century. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The quadrangular pedestal base has a moulded top with a row of round arch-heads below; the cherub head(s) is (are) framed in the side panels.
