Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-, vol. V**: 564): baptismal font of the 12th century in the Romanesque style; the large roughly hemispherical basin is ornamented with two crudely rendered human faces on the sides, as well as with a row of ball motif around the underbowl; plain cylindrical pedestal base. An image from ca. 1943 shows the basin covered with a plain flat wooden lid. Described in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) where it is noted that there are three crudely-rendered human heads visible on the basin, two of tem partly hidden in the part of the font built into the wall, and that it is likely there is a fourth head completely hidden behind.
