Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 189) and in Domeño (1992: 163) as the basin of a baptismal font of the Gothic period found in the exterior of the church, by the buttresses of the former apse [NB: the orientation of this church was reversed in the renovations carried out ca. 1800]. The upper basin is similar to the one originally from Zabalza de Ibargoiti but now located in the new parish church of San Miguel, in Noain, near Pamplona [cf. Index entry for Noain No. 2]
