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. Under the roof of San Pedro de Echano are more than 30 carved corbels. Some of the sculptures are unusual, as they seem to be "portraits" of individuals (see previous uploads). Here is another portrait. Though the church is devoted to Saint Peter and the person is holding a key, he cannot be Saint Peter. This sculpture depicts an individual, wary doorman. I am not sure about the backpack he seems to carry.
