Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV*: 242) and in Domeño (1992: 177); medieval baptismal font; cylindrical basin with hemispherical underbowl, both decorated with the ribbed pattern that has inserts at the lower basin border and is typical of other Navarrese fonts [e.g.: Eransus, Ardanaz de Egüés]; raised on a truncated conical pedestal ornamented with mouldings and likely of a later date; square plinth. The font appears ca. 1943 with a flat plain wooden cover [We are grateful to the Institución Príncipe de Viana, Archivo Uranga, of Pamplona, Spain, for the photograph of this font]. [cf. Index entry for Sarriguren No. 2 for a 17th-century holy-water stoup in the same church]
