Noted in Bilbao (1994) as a medieval baptismal font. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a double roll moulding at the upper rim and a single one at the bottom of the underbowl, on a stem made of clustered columns, and a square lower base decorated with pointed scallops; the lower base is partly embeded in the modern flooring. The upper rim of the basin retains two old metal staples for the cover lock at opposite ends.
