Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV*: 374); described and illustrated in Domeño (1992: 155 and pl. 179): medieval [Domeño has it as Gothic] baptismal font; hemispherical basin ornamented with stylised trees, 6-petal floral motifs, mouldings, etc., now painted in a light-ochre colour; the upper rim appears broken in the ca. 1943 image from the Archivo Uranga, and repaired in the ca. 1992 image from Domeño's book [both sources describe the motif around the upper side of the basin as rope moulding ["sogueado"], but it is actually a pattern of thin vertical mouldings not uncommon in fonts, both in a vertical and a diagonal pattern]. The base is a quadrangular pedestal with a narrower stem, perhaps alien to the basin; it is decorated with several vertical incisions. The font appears covered with a plain wooden lid in the ca. 1943 source.
