Additional Comments: painted font (remains of) -- Samson and the Lions. Annunciation scene shows the Virgin with a distaff of yarn like the Annunciation scene on San Giovanni in Verona. There is a tree behind her indicating she stands in a garden. Roosval refers to a painting in the church of St.Sophia at Kiev dating to the 11th century with similar features.Four heads on base. Under the Nativity Scene (without the child) a man's head with long hair hanging on either side. Perhaps it is a woman's head. From this head (going right to left) there follows the heads of two beasts (almost identical by unidentifiable) and then lastly, a ram. There is evidence of paint remains that ornate and decorative symbols were painted between the heads on the bases. The centre ring is smooth and painted with a braided pattern. The underside of the bowl was once painted with motifs perhaps scenes, there is no way of knowing now. Clearly it was decorated as well.

Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. III: 150, 152) as an sandstone octagonal mounted baptismal font from the Byzantios workshop and dated circa 1150 by Roosval (ibid.); basin sides ornamented with arcade of round arches resting on low columns; each arch contains a scene of the Childhood or Passion of Christ, Samson, animals, etc. Roosval (1918) identifies the scene on the east side as the Nativity [cf. Images area]. Round pedestal base with four heads at 90-degree angles; round lower base with several mouldings. Described and illustrated also in Fåhraeus (1974). In Stenström (1975). In Nordström (1984). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910810F2] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 12th century bt Byzantios. On-site notes: the pictorial program on this font proceeds from the right to the left. The font is in good condition and has traces of paint all over it. Well-designed and proportioned font and skillfully carved. Older plinth has similar traces of paint and colourings as the font; it is difficult to tell what date it is, perhaps the 16th century. There is no drainage evident on the plinth, even though there is a hole in the bowl of the font; this probably means that the font once stood directly on the floor of the church and the plinth was added later [cf. supra]. The interior of the basin appears to have been re-carved at two opposite spots, a modification possibly related to the font cover? [cf. Image section for full iconographic program]
