Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-, vol. IV*: 392) as a baptismal font probably of the 13th century; described in Domeño (1992: 181); large hemispherical basin ornamented with ball motif around the underbowl; the same motif appears on the lower end of the cylindrical pedestal base; the round lower base is plain. [NB: a holy-water stoup in the same church, S side, appears to be Baroque, to judge by the ornate foliage decoration on the base, although the basin itself is plain]
