Described and illustrated in the Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?- , vol. II*: 256 and pl. 254): large baptismal font of the early 17th century; the hemispherical basin is decorated with a thick roll moulding at the upper rim; below it are two thin mouldings that frame a Latin inscription running all around the upper basin side; the lower side and underbowl are decorated with a pattern of concave ribs which have round inserts at the lower ends, a design not uncommon in Spanish fonts of this period. The basin is raised on a cylindrical pedestal base decorated with mouldings.
