Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. V**: 726) as a baptismal font of the 16th century; the basin is roughly hemispherical and ornamented with a rope moulding at the upper rim; below it, a band of two types of motifs: about half of the band, at the front, has a row of nine-point sun-like symbols, whereas the one at the back are ball motifs [NB: the CMdeN describes them as ball ["hilera superior de bolas"], but the images show the different motifs at the two halves]; the rest of the basin side and underbowl are ornamented with ribbed pattern. The base is a polygonal pedestal. The font has a plain flat wooden cover.
