Baptismal font here mentioned in Arantza Cuesta Ezeiza, in Gure Gipuzkoa [www.guregipuzkoa.eus/es?lang=es&paged=1&s=pila+bautismal#gallery/759716a5c1b6f245765792f1e7d1bae1/147587/comments] [accessed 9 June 2020] as being related to the ones at nearby Escoriaza and Arcarazo. Noted in Bertan 2 Gipukoa ignorada, by Luis-Pedro Peña Santiago with photographs by Xabi Otero (San Sebastian, 1993) [http://bertan.gipuzkoakultura.net/bertan2/bertan/caste/3.php] [accessed 10 June 2020]: "lo más interesante de esta barriada de Apotzaga es su cementerio [...] Se trata de un cementerio circular, circular como las estelas discoideas. [...] A la entrada del cementerio se ven dos gigantescas pilas bautismales románicas, una a cada lado. Ellas también están casi vacías, y sólo las ocupan las hojas de los árboles en el otoño y las gotas de la lluvia en la primavera." The two fonts, if that is what they were originally, appear identical: a hemispherical basin with a circular base, all plain; they are raised on cylindical bases now but those would not have been part of the original if ther are medieval fonts.
