Described in Bilbao (1994) as a Romaneque baptismal font consisting of a plain basin mounted on a pedestal ornamented with floral motifs. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) dates it to the 13th century.
