The stone basin of a baptismal font possibly of the 17th century is listed and illustrated in López de Guereñu [https://photo.araba.eus/s/photoaraba/item/66092] [accessed 2 August 2024]: "Pila bautismal de la ermita de Santa María de Bercijana en Yécora. Vista frontal de la taza de una pila bautismal con decoración de rehundidos. Posiblemente sea del siglo XVII". The object appears laying on the grass, obviously disused; it is roughly hemispherical with a pronounced rim moulding; the rest of the surface appears panelled; no base or cover present.
