Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) as one of a series of plain medieval fonts in Navarra at Muniain de Guesalaz, Arroniz, Learza, Oteiza, Echavarri, Azuelo, Etayo, Ubago, Mues, Cabrega, Murieta, Piedramillera and Villamayor de Monjardin, in the Estella region, as well as those in the valleys of Oloriz, Garinoain and Muruzabal de Andion, as plain medieval fonts in the area. This same source notes that the font used to be raised on a pedestal base and had a two-leaf wooden cover, but both these objects have disappeared. There is a later composite font or stoup, its basin deeply carved with heads and flowers; much damaged.
