Century and Period: 12th - 13th century, Late Romanesque

Workshop/Group/Artisan: Hegvald / Hegwald

Church Notes: Church has magnificent pulpit, rood, iron work; it must have been a wealthy church once. A set of reliefs high on the exterior south wall of the chancel are identified as Byzantios and are of the type found on thie baptismal fonts of this workshop: an arcade of round arches resting on low columns, containing a griffin, a running man, a satanding Apostle, the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem, two standing Apostles, a haloed woman, a satnding bishop with staff and mitre, a Spinario with a erect penis.

Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. IV, hft. 3: 440-453) as a roughly cylindrical mounted sandstone baptismal font, identified as a work belonging to the Hegwald group of fonts and dated to ca. 1130 by Roosval; as in other works by this workshop, the basin has an arcade all around its sides containing several scenes identified as: the Creation of Eve, the Fall, Angel with two swords, Eve at work spinning, Adam and Eve at work, and a possible Sermon on the Mount. On the underbowl, another arcade containing several scenes identified as: the Annunciation and Visitation under one arch; a Nativity; Herod and Herodias at the table, with John the Baptist on the side and Stephen with the cock, all elbow-to-elbow under one arch; a busy dining scene in the next arch; the spandrels of the arcade are also crowded with the stoning of Stephen, the Magi with gifts, etc. The old plinth is reported in the churchyard [ca. 1952]. In Lundberg (1937), Stenström (1975), Nordström (1984) and Svanberg (1995). Kroesne & Steensma (2004) describe it as "one beautiful example [...] sculpted by Hegvaldr in the twelfth century." Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910812F3] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the mid-12th century by Hegvald. On-site notes: the font is in excellent condition with paint remains still evident on it. The bowl is incised with five arches with scenes around the sides, with another five arches around the underbowl, but there are more than five scenes per program, with several conflated scenes occurring. The top scenes (on the basin sides) depict mainly Old Testament scenes, with the exception of the scene which is interpreted either as a Majestas Domini or the Sermon on the Mount [cf. supra]. The scenes on the underbowl are New Testament scenes, including one depicting the Last Supper [cf. ImagesArea for a full description of the scenes on both basin and underbowl]. The centre ring on the base has a snake-like design. Nordström (1984) notes that there are several episodes from the story of Samson and the Lion on this font (they actually occur in the spandrels of the basin arcade). The base has three protruding beast heads devouring their prey some of which takes the form of strange-looking birds; a single haloed figure appears on one of the sides. The plinth now [1997] under the font is modern [cf. supra for the old plinth whereabouts]. [NB: re-visited 23 and 26 May 2018]
