An object that appears to be a holy-water stoup rather than a font, consisting of a round tapering basin decorated with a concave-rib pattern around the underbowl, the pedestal base a torsade column. Our only reference is a B&W photograph [source not available] but probably by López de Guereñu in Foto-Araba. NB: a confusing reference to a baptismal font in this church is found in the entry for this church in Iglesias y Horarios [https://horariosrezo.es/iglesia/iglesia-de-san-millan-24/] [accessed 15 April 2026]: "una pila bautismal que, en ocasiones, puede ser el vestigio más antiguo del templo, remontándose a épocas medievales."
