Font Notes:
Described in Domeño (1992: 150) as a baptismal font with a base shaped like a truncated cone and ornamented with ball motif; the hemispheric basin, ornamented with square motifs, being a later addition. The entry for this font in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 510) describes the base as cylindrical and plain and does not mention the date difference. [cf. Index entry for Ezcániz No. 1 for another font in this village -- it is possible that the two fonts may have been cannibalised at a later date -- to be resolved]
