Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-, vol. IV*: 399): baptismal font dated by and inscription to 1737. This baptismal font, consisting of a hemispherical basin raised on a roughly cylindrical pedestal base is either an anachronism or the date was added at a later date. The shape, carving and ornamentation of the basin -besides the inscription itself- is typically medieval: a band of saw-tooth motif at the upper basin side and two human heads. The base looks rather odd chiefly due to the vertical fluted pattern all around the stem. [Included in this Index as a curiosity in any case]
