Summary

A recent architectural restauration discovered the gothic mural paintings that originally decorated the choir of San Juan Bautista de Larrínzar (Alava). These paintings s h a re usual ornamental themes (eight monster heads beside the keystone, masonry designs, borders), accompanied by fourteen peculiar oculi, wich re p roduce an a rchitectural design typical of Burgos. This decoration was probably made for Juan Pére z de Lazárraga and María Vélez de Larrínzar at the end of XV century.
