Noted and illustrated in a 1926 B&W photograph by Gustaf Ewald [https://digitaltmuseum.se/021017958851/1m16-a7326] [accessed 21 Kune 2020]. Noted and illustrated in Hallbäck (1971). Noted in Nordström (1984). Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920508F2] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the late-12th century. On-site notes: The font is cylindrical mounted on a short square base; it is rather crudely carved, in large relief, but has some interesting 13th-century (?) iconographic details, like the hat of Joseph in the Flight to Egypt and Nativity scenes, both quite different; this font may be later than the literature suggests.
