Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) and in Domeño (1992): baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the cylindrical basin [NB: the sides are slightly angled] is ornamented with a blind arcade of round arches and leaf motif in the spandrels; above and below the arcade is a row of ball motif; plain cylindrical stem of the base; square lower base has roll moulding with ball motif at 90-degree angles. Large circular plinth. Listed in Bilbao (1996). Simeón Hidalgo Valencia (e-mail of 2 May 2014 to BSI) suggets the existence of a workshop in the valleys of Izagaondoa, Lizoáin, Unciti and Urraúl Bajo, which would include the fonts at Artáiz, Cemboráin, Grez, Idoate, Lérruz, Najurieta, Reta, Zuazu, and others in the area.
