Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. II**: 126) and in Domeño (1992: 165-166): medieval -the CMdeN identifies as Romanesque- baptismal font consisting of a plain hemispherical basin mounted on a later-date pedestal -dated in the CMdeN to the 16th century. [cf. Index entry for Muzqui No. 2 for a holy-water of the 16th century in this church]. The pedestal base of the 16th century is square with chamfered angles and is decorated with mouldings at either end; the whole font is raised on a circular plinth , probably the original. [We are grateful to Javier Torrens, of Pamplona, Spain, for the photographs of this font]
