An object listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 26 July 2024] as a baptismal font in this church appears to be a composite: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora en Lujo. Vista frontal de la pila bautismal del templo; la copa presenta una cruz en la parte central y se asienta sobre una columna con un capitel muy esquemático". Lujo/Luxo is not listed in the Enciclopedia del romanico. A photograph of the interior of this church [cf.
