Oloriz - San Pedro de Echano

Oloriz - San Pedro de Echano
San Pedro de Echano (aka "Ermita de San Pedro de Echano") is not easy to find, as the church is a few kilometers east of Oloriz in the middle of fields and bushland. In medieval times, when the church got erected, there might have been a village or settlement nearby, but nowadays there are no houses near to the church.

This church was a big surprise and I was lucky, to find the door open. A wedding was scheduled for that afternoon and so the interior of the church got cleaned and decorated.

Outside, under the roof, are more than 30 carved corbels. This one depicts an obcenity, like many medieval corbels do. Male? Female? Androgyn? Compared to the other corbels here, this one is pretty damaged.

Meanwhile I do not see a beard any longer. The left arm got lost, the right arm in parts, but the hands are still at the chin. If this is right, here is a female - with an out-size vulva.
