Baptismal font listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 31 July 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la iglesia de San Juan Bautista. Vista frontal de la pila bautismal; es un gran recipiente cilíndico sobre un pequeño pedestal decorado con recuadros". The large tub-shaped round basin is raised on a mid-section with indented quadrangular panels, and a plain round lower base. If the font is monolithic, its mid-section could have been recarved during the Renaissance modifications to the whole church; otherwise it could be a composite. No cover present but evidence of anchoring points appears on the upper rim.
