Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. V*: 523 and pl. 491) as the hemispherical basin of an early-Gotic baptismal font; it is now half-built into the wall, under the choir; the upper rim of the basin is ornamented with a thin roll moulding and, just below it, a row of flower-in-a-circle motif [the number of petals varies between nine and fifteen]; the sides and underbowl are ornamented with ribbed pattern all around. The basin appears covered with a plain flat wooden lid, probably modern.
