Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. II**: 106 and pl. 111) and in Domeño (1992: 41 and pl. 26): hemispherical basin ornamented with ribbed pattern between mouldings at the upper rim and at the bottom of the underbowl; plain cylindrical pedestal base. Uranga & Iñiguez (1973, vol. V: 258-259) date this font to the 12th-13th century; the CMdeN (ibid.) describes it simply as "medieval"; Domeño (1992: 118 fn19) argues that it should be dated to the 16th century. [cf. Index entry for Izurzu No. 2 for a medieval holy-water stoup in this church]
