capital aptly described by Antonio Garcia-Omedes [www.arquivoltas.com/12-Leon/01-SanPedroDuenas03.htm] [accessed 1 July 2016] : "En su cesta hallamos a siete personas con hábito portando rollos y alzando en ocasiones una de sus manos. Probablemente sea una representación de las monjas de esta comunidad. Sobre ellas un ave en cada cara, con las alas desplegadas la de la central. Todo ello en un tono desmañado, torpe y "naif", que contrasta de modo notable con el resto de la escultura del templo. Me recuerda vivamente a un capitel del interior de la ermita de San Román en la Puebla de Castro en Huesca."
