Illustrated in the noted Enciclopedia del románico en Aragón (Zaragoza, vol. 1, 2010) in the context of the church interior. Bucket-shaped vessel believed to be -and used as- a holy-water stoup in this church; the sides are decorated with a combination of fork-shaped motifs and several occurrences of 'crux gammata'. The rounded variety [aka 'lauburu' in Basque, 'Hakenkreuz' in German, 'tetragammadion' [τέτραγαμμάδιον] in Greek, 'croix gammée' in French, etc.], confusingly left- and right-handed; the underbowl has two thick roll mouldings; it is raised on a modern cubic pedestal.
