Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. II**: 380) and in Domeño (1992: 163): medieval baptismal font now much re-tooled. The baptismal font consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the underbowl, a short conical (inverted) stem and a bucket-shaped (inverted) lower base; while the two elements of the base appear in the original shape, the basin has been heavily re-tooled. [We are grateful to Javier Torrens, of Pamplona, Spain, for the photographs of this font]
