Described in Bilbao (1994: 118) as a plain medieval baptismal font; the stem of the base has constructional shafts around the centre column. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in López de Guereñu and another in Revista Estíbaliz (January 1959). No cover present but two metal staples evident in the upper rim of the basin from an earlier cover.
