Font Notes:
Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-, vol. II**: 46); described and illustrated in Domeño (1992: 180 and pl. 197): baptismal font consisting of a Gothic base and a later-date hemispherical basin [NB: the CMdeN does not refer to the composite nature of the font and describes simply as "pila de piedra de estilo gótico"]; the base starts with a round shape at the top but ends in a square shape at the bottom, each side ornamented with a pointed window in which opens a trefoil arch. The later basin is roughly hemispherical in shape but has arrises that make it polygonal.
