Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Aragón (Zaragoza, vol. 1, 2010) as a the basin of a baptismal font probably from the old Romanesque church here; the round basin has plain and slightly tapering sides; the round upper part of the base forms part of this same block, but the rest of the base is missing. Noted and illustrated in García Omedes [http://www.castillodeloarre.org/Zaragoza/990510-EmbidAriza1.htm] who reports that the font used to be located beneath the now disappeared stairs to the upper gallery, but it is now located at the west end of the nave, without a base.
