Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. IV**: 564) and in Domeño (1992: 177): octagonal basin [the CMdeN describes the underbowl as "troncopiramidal" whereas Domeño calls it "subcopa semiesférica"]; prismatic stem of the base and lower base of truncated pyramidal shape with a lower moulding [NB: this piece is included in Domeño's work on medieval fonts of Navarra, but neither she nor the CMdeN give a date for it -- the CMdeN (ibid., p. 562) dates the church itself to the 18th century built with parts of the old church, but it does not include font among them])
