Described and illustrated in Uranga & Iñiguez (1973, vol. 5: 258 and pl. 36); described also in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. III: 421). Wall-mounted holy-water stoup dated in both sources to about the same period as the church [it was consecrated in 1156]; the stoup is roughly hemispherical with three (?) prominent vertical ribs that are not plain: the centre one has a fish with its mouth near the upper rim of the basin; the one on the right has interlace motif making a length of romboid pattern; the one on the left has clusters of saw-tooth motif; the space between these ribs is filled with three button-like hemispherical rosettes in each space; between the last ribs and the wall are rendered human faces, one on each side.
