Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66059] [accessed 27 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Román de Eguileta. Vista frontal de una pila bautismal románica con decoraciones en la basa"; a detailed photograph of the base in the same source identifies a mascaron on each corner of the lower base: "la basa de la pila bautismal románica; presenta cuatro mascarones en cada uno [sic] de los ángulos y fuste liso". Described in Bilbao (1994: 115) as a medieval baptismal font; ornamentation only on the lower base. Bilbao (ibid.) cites entry in López de Guereñu.
