Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 31 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Juan Bautista. Vista frontal de una pila bautismal románica; presenta la taza sin ningún tipo de decoración". Described in Bilbao (1994: 113) as a plain medieval baptismal font. Bilbao (ibid.) cites entry in López de Guereñu. The font consists of two blocks: the upper block has a roughly hemispherical basin and a part of the round pedestal base, the lower block having the rest of the base; both sections are totally plain.
