Scene Description: Source caption: "Vista interior de esta desconocida y poco visitada iglesia en el pueblecito de Alaves de Gaceo , se pueden observar unas preciosas pinturas encontradas detrás del retablo en los años 60, son Góticas del s.XIV y únicas en todo el Pais Vasco. Se ofrecen visitas guiadas desde cercano pueblo de Salvatierra, que se acompaña de alguna otra joya de la zona."

Described in Bilbao (1994) as a medieval baptismal font, a plain octagonal basin raised on a pillar that was repaired in the 16th century. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. NB: there is no octagonal font in this church now [2014]; the font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin mounted on a square pedestal base; other than the shape of the basin the 16th-century date appears appropriate for the grouping, as the basin itself is probably not medieval either. The church is originally of the Romanesque period and there must have an earlier font here of that time, now disappeared.
