Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 27 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Román de San Millán [...] pila bautismal medieval. La taza se cubre totalmente con decoración dispuesta en bandas: arquerías entrecruzadas, bandas de zigzag, rosetones, etc. El pie cuadrangular lo forman doce medias columnas adosadas, tres de las cuales se decoran con un punteado triangular a modo de esquemas. La basa cuadrada se ornamenta con arquerías". Noted in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria (1968). In Portilla Vitoria (1983). Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1994) as a medieval baptismal font of the early 13th century; the basin is ornamented with a series of motifs arranged in bands: arcades of intersecting arches, zigzag, rosettes, etc.; the quadrangular base is made of twelve constructional columns, three of which are decorated with a triangular pattern simulating scales; the lower base is square, decorated with intersecting arches. Bilbao (ibid.) notes similar fonts at Onraita and Róitegui. Noted in Plazaola Artola (2008?). Although the font does not have a cover at present [October 2009], the sides of the upper rim of the basin show the damage where the metal staples of the old cover were [NB: the old cover shows in the ca. 1940-1960 photograph by López de Guereñu].
