Font Notes:
The Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990- ) reports smallish medieval holy-water stoup by the south entrance [="en el lado de la Epístola, inmediata a la puerta de entrada, se localiza una pequeña pila medieval de agua bendita"]. The Enciclopedia del Romanico en Navarra (2008) does not mention any font or stoup here. A medieval baptismal font [="una pila bautismal medieval"] is reported in this 12th-century rural chapel [http://www.turismo.navarra.es/esp/organice-viaje/recurso.aspx?masInf=1&o=5237] [accessed 27 November 2011], but it is probably referred to the stoup noted in the CMdeN above. [NB: there is possibility that was raised by Mikel Unanue (email communication of 29 November 2011 to BSI): that the present base of the altar may be the old medieval basin, just as the une found in Uncastillo [cf. Index entry for Uncastillo No. 1]. The main difference between the two, however, is that the Uncastillo object has a clearly visible drain hole, but there is no drain hole visible in this one]
