Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-, vol. II**: 758 and pl. 828): baptismal font of the mid-17th century; roughly hemispherical basin ornamented with a blind arcade of tall round arches simulating a ribbed pattern; a plain cylindrical ring-like piece links the underbowl with the octagonal stem of the base, which has a thin moulding at either end. The whole rests on a rectangular plinth. The ca. 1992 illustration shows a flat wooden cover on the basin. [NB: a holy-water stoup of this period in the same church is listed in this Index as Zurucuain No. 2, and another stoup in a nearby "ermita" is listed as Zurucuain No. 3]
