Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-) as a baptismal font similar to the other font in this church [cf. entry for Elcoaz No. 1]; this second font, located in the atrium of this church, is originally from the Iglesia de San Martín in nearby Arangozqui, a village abandoned in the 1960s. The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) notes a number of Romanesque basins of similar shape in Adoain, Aristu, Elcoaz, Jacoisti, Ayechu, Ongoz. Irurozqui, Arangozqui and Zabalza, in the same valley, and Azparren, Equiza, Uli Alto, Meoz and Igal in nearby areas. [cf. Index entry for Elcoaz No. 3 for a holy-water stoup probably of the 16th century in this church]
