Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round and crude pedestal base; it may have had some decorative motifs and/or patterns on both the basin and base, but if so they are now practically erased; it is listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66047] [accessed 28 July 2024]: "Vista frontal de una pila bautismal muy sencilla y sin ningún tipo de valor artístico". The basin shows considerable damage to the underbowl [NB: for another font listed in this church in the same source see BSI entry for Olabezar No.1]
