Noted and illustrated in Nils Gustaf Strömbom's Husaby kyrka, källa och ruin (1894). In Hallbäck (1971-1972). "Font of the parish-church in Husaby, Sweden, which has the bowl placed on a column carried by four animals [...]. A text comments the base, 'I am the venerable base -- an adornment for the richly flowing vase'. A fact that cannot be reconciled with the theory of the base as the place for the evil powers. (Carlsson, 1976: 127, after Hallbäck (1971-72, pp. 211-216)). Nordström (1984: 14) [after Hallbäck] records the inscription on this font [cf. Inscription area]. Nordström cites the text interpretation in Sven Blomgren's "Inskriften på den medeltida dopfunten i Husaby kyrka" in Västergötlands fornminnesförenings tidskrift 1958 (Skara, 1958): 97ff. Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920519F1] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 12th century. There are two inscriptions on this font: one runs around the upper surface of the upper rim of the base; the second runs around the upper surface of the fat moulding on the lower base.
