A second font [cf. Index entry for the medieval baptismal font in the interior of this church] exists in the outside of the church: it consists of a hemispherical basin raised on a short cylindrical pedestal base; it appears drastically cleaned and/or re-tooled. Updated information from the Encilopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) appears to indicate that this may be the original font from the Ermita de San Martin de Montalban [cf. Index entry for Zurucuain No. 4]
