Noted and illustrated by Arantza Cuesta Ezeiza, in Gure Gipukoa [www.guregipuzkoa.eus/wp-content/gallery/arantzacuestaezeiza/1144340.jpg] [accessed 15 June 2020]: "Pila bautismal [...] Ubicación: Bajo coro lado evangelio Siglo XVI Realizada en material marmóreo de color gris. Se articula en un grueso pie cilíndrico definido entre collarinos que descansa en una basa de sección cuadrada, decorado con estrías oblícuas cortadas a bisel. Decoración que se repite en la pila de forma acampanada con sección exterior mixtilínea debido a los motivos decorativos, e interior circular, con el fondo rebajado respecto a la copa exterior." Baptismal font consisting of a round basin that has the upper half almost cylindrical, the lower half a hemispherical underbowl; there are two marked mouldings, one at the rupper rim, the other at mid-side, outlining the beginning of the underbowl, both parts decorated with a pattern of (sixteen?) broad and shallow concave ribs; there is a central ring moulding between the basin and the base; the base is a short cylindrical pedestal that replicates the decoration pattern of the basin; the basin appears to be of a dark-hued marble, but the base may be of a different stone, also dark. There is a large wooden cover of octagonal-pyramidal shape, decorated with panels, mouldings, etc.
