Celina Llarás Usón, in her introductory essay on "L'escultura monumental" of the Ribagorça / Ribagorza region, in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XVI: 115) refers to a baptismal font originally from the Iglesia de San Cristóbal / Sant Cristòfol, in Erdao, later moved to the Iglesia de San Martín / Església de Sant Martí, in Capella, as difficult to assign a date to but perhaps of the Gothic period [cf. Index entries for Capella (Huesca) for a possible identification of this font -- a local source informed that "one of the fonts stored here had been sent to Graus"].
