Distinguished sculptor and ironsmith who contributed to many distinguished churches in northern Spain. His connection to the vihuela is through the depictions of the instrument on the grill of the choir in the Cathedral in Plasencia. He also built the grill at San Benito in Valladolid where Esteban Daza’s family had their chapel.
