Noted and illustrated in Rioja Románica [https://www.riojaromanica.com/categorias/pilas-bautismales#] [accessed 15 November 2020]: "Esta pila bautismal se encuentra en la iglesia de San Esteban de Herramélluri. Parece ser que la copa de la pila es medieval y en su ornamentación se aprecian rasgos y elementos que recuerdan a otros reconocibles en monumentos, miniaturas y monedas del siglo XIII. Sería conveniente y necesario realizar un estudio detallado de la misma, tanto desde el punto de vista documental, como desde el histórico-artístico." Some of the elements carved on the basin sides are: a Green Man's head, a tiny floating human head, a fleurdelysée cross, vegetation or perhaps a Tree of Life, a lion, a church or castle, etc.; the much damaged underbowl has a ribbed pattern, the ribs plain except for one that appears to be decorated; there is a moulding atop the cylindrical stem of the base, a flt-rib patterns all around the stem; the round-to-square lower base appears plain. No cover present. The on-line news La Rioja [https://www.larioja.com/comarcas/201501/26/leiva-herramelluri-recuperan-pedazo-20150126165518.html] [accessed 15 November 2020] notes: "La pila bautismal de Herramélluri, tallada en piedra y también de época medieval, ha sido catalogada de estilo románico y tiene forma de copa y un pie con estrías helicoidales. La base de la pila está tallada con relieves con motivos vegetales, cruciformes y zoomorfos. Los trabajos realizados en esta pieza, que han supuesto una inversión de 18.430 euros y han sido realizados por la restauradora Mercedes Sierra, han consistido en la limpieza y eliminación de materiales y elementos biológicos adheridos por causa de la humedad y en el rellenado de grietas y huecos. Además, la pila se ha trasladado a otro lugar de la iglesia de San Esteban Protomártir para evitar deterioros por humedades." [NB: two other objects of interest can be found in this church, both apparently Roman and made of alabaster; one is now used as the piscina, the other as holy-water stoup]
