Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?) and in Domeño (1992): medieval baptismal font consisting of a roughly bucket-shaped basin raised on a cylindrical pedestal base, both plain and of rather crude execution. A modern insert has been placed inside the basin well; it provides multiple partitions for holy water, chrism, etc. There is damage to both sides of the upper rim -one side has been repaired- consistent with the forceful removal of the iron staples of the old cover. [NB: a holy-water stoup decorated with cherubs and foliage and located in the south side, by the door, is dated to the 18th century in the CMdeN (ibid.) and therefore not included in this Index -- photograph available in Image area]. Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) as one of a series of plain medieval fonts in Navarra at Muniain de Guesalaz, Arroniz, Learza, Oteiza, Echavarri, Azuelo, Etayo, Ubago, Mues, Cabrega, Murieta, Piedramillera and Villamayor de Monjardin, in the Estella region, as well as those in the valleys of Oloriz, , Garinoain and Muruzabal de Andion, as plain medieval fonts in the area.
