Described in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- ) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with radial motif, raised on a conical base and a lower base or plinth consisting of a torus at the top and a square platform decorated with ball motif at the angles below. In the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) with date of the 13th century. If the font is 13th-century, as claimed in the Enciclopedia [cf. supra], which is possible at a stretch, the interior of the basin was altered to have multiple divisions at a much later time. There are traces of plugged holes on the upper rim surface, an indication there probably were staples for an earlier font cover in it. The present font cover is round, flat and plain, with a knob handle; modern.
