Scene Description: Source caption: "Los dos capiteles del arco triunfal son figurados. El del lado norte muestra una compleja composición llena de movimiento: en la cara mayor se representa la lucha de dos cuadrúpedos que se acometen con las fauces abiertas y las garras en alto. En cada lateral del capitel de Bergondo aparece un nuevo cuadrúpedo que muerde la cola de uno de los que está luchando."

Church Notes: originally the church of a Benedictine monastery; documented 12thC; damaged by fire 14thC; re-built 14th-15thC; restored 1980
The baptismal font in this former monastery church is probably not the original, but a late-medieval replacement, perhaps of the re-building after the 14th-century fire that damaged the church and the rest of the monastery; it consists of a roughly hemispheric basin and a round pedestal base, both plain. No cover present. There appear to be two details of interest in this font: 1)the inner basin has a vertical groove which may indicate that at some point the inner well was divided into two compartments; this would not have been original but a later, 16th or 17th-century modification in the fashion of the French fonts of the period; 2)there is a large notch in the upper rim that suggests the presence of cover hardware at some point.
