The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/zaragoza_Isuerre.pdf] [accessed 17 July 2022) does nor mention a font in it. The discovery of a font walled in the south interior wall just west of the doorway was announced and illustrated in an article by Pascual Plane in cincovillas.com [https://www.cincovillas.com/isuerre-en-las-cinco-villas-muestra-lo-bien-guardado/] [accessed 17 July 2022]; the author states: "La foto que ilustra el artículo no es mía y desconozco al autor. Yo me he limitado a cogerla de las redes sociales y enviársela a José Ramón." A 1 June 2019 article by Noeli Barceló in Heraldo [https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/aragon/zaragoza/2019/06/01/hallan-una-antigua-pila-bautismal-en-las-obras-de-reforma-de-la-iglesia-de-isuerre-1318039.html] [accessed 17 July 2022] reports the rdiscovery of a stone baptismal font previously walled in the wall by the entranceway during the restoration of the church. A local source cited in the cincovillas.com article (ibid.) opined that it was not a baptismal font but an oil tithe container, on the basis that "Su interior es cilíndrico, cuando las pilas bautismales son semiesféricas. Yo aseguraría que se trata de una pila para recoger el aceite de los diezmos. Es una opinión." [NB: obviously the opinion of this person is of rather limited value]. The stone object has a round tapering basin devoid of all ornamentation, and would have been perfectly fit for a font of the medieval church here].
