Font Notes:
Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. V***: 205) and in Domeño (1992: 172): baptismal font of the late medieval period, late 15th or early 16th century; the font consists of a large cylindrical basin ornamented with "arc en anse de panier" [three centered arch] motif and raised on a cylindrical pedestal base [NB: Domeño has it as polygonal]. The CMdeN (ibid.) states that, when this Augustinian covent became a parish church in 1882, it received the old baptismal font from the church of San Saturnino; the latter had acquired a new font at the time. This same source (ibid.) describes the font as heavily re-carved and covered with a neo-Gothic lid. [NB: a web source, www.tournavarra.com, mistakenly reports this font as originally from the parish church of San Nicolás]
