Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) and in Domeño (1992): Romanesque baptismal font of the 12th century; short and wide cylindrical basin with hemispherical underbowl; the sides of the basin are ornamented with convex ribbed pattern; the underbowl is ornamented with concave ribbed pattern; where both patterns meet at the lower basin side is a band of motif described in the CMdeN entry as saw-tooth, although it is of a rather peculiar type with rounded edges; the pedestal base is wider at the top and the lower side has a rol mnoulding around it; the whole is raised on a plain circular plinth. A flat plain wooden cover appears on the ca. 1943 image source Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) as a baptismal font similar to the one in Alzuza, also in Navarra, and contemporary with the building itself, of the late 12th or earlly 13th century.
