Fundación Elkano
Getaria, Spain

The court of 12 figures dressed in the Flemish Burgundy style are well known in the Basque town of Ondarroa as the Kortxeleko-mamuak. These handsome statues are, from left to right, the king, the piper, a musician playing the folk violin, a pilgrim couple, two bowmen, a nanny, a queen, a monk, and a young squire and knight. A set of statues that may have been part of another procession sit in the very top section of the building.
