A baptismal font in this church is listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/46747] [accessed 8 August 2024]: "Pila bautismal en Bernedo [...] pila bautismal con cubierta y abundante ornamentación". Bilbao (1994), however, describes a plain medieval baptismal font here, and cites a corresponding entry for it in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/alava_BERNEDO.pdf] [accessed 8 August 2024] describes a font similar to the one noted in Bilbao [cf. supra], a plain hemispherical basin on a short cylindrical base, the lower base probably buried in the flooring: "En el interior de la iglesia de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora se conserva una sencilla pila bautismal. Sigue la tipología más difundida en Álava, compuesta por una copa lisa semiesférica, sobre un corto pie cilíndrico. La basa ha desaparecido, posiblemente, bajo el entablamento." [NB: we are providing the photograph and description of the font in López de Guereñu for reference only, as we have no other information on the object].
