Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 521) and in Domeño (1992: 169): medieval baptismal font ofd a type common in Navarra [e.g.: Elcoaz, etc.], ornamented with horizontal mouldings and ball motif; the hemispherical basin is raised on a roughly cylindrical stem and a circular lower base. A plain flat wooden lid is visible in the ca. 1943 image source; in this same source the font shows a vertical crack right down the one side of basin and base..
