Font Notes:
Click to view
Roosval & Gardell (1944) attribute it to the 'Knippekolonnmästaren'. Nordström (1984) identifies images of St. Lawrence, Jonah and the dragon on this font. Noted in Hallbäck (1961) as one of Knippekolonnmästaren's three famous works made of soapstone in the 13th century; this author gives a full description of the figures and motifs on the font, including a reclining figure wearing a cloak and a large headdress and holding an ax in his hand. Lidén (1998), after Roosval & Gardell (1944), and Hallbäck (1961), mentions an inscription on the base of this font identifying it as the work of the "Knippekolonnmästaren"; Lidén (ibid.) rejects the identification that is sometimes made of the figure which appears in several fonts in conjunction with a ship as St. Olav [this is the figure that Nordström [cf. supra] identifies as Jonah. Described and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930706F1] as a baptismal font made of soapstone and dated to the first half of the 13th century; the SHM entry leaves the author as unidentified, but cites the original attribution in Roosval & Gardell [cf. supra]. NB: the Göteborgs stadsmuseum holds an item (G.M. 144) identified as a copy ["Kopia i cement"] of the original font; the Museum held the original between 1872 and 1924]. On-site notes: the font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with an arcade of round arches some of which have columnar supports, others do not, depending on the demand of the scenes included in them; a set of three arch-heads includes the martyrdom of St. Lawrence; another set, of four arches includes the legend of St. Margaret of Antioch; some arches have single persons, but one includes an embracing (?) pair; the stem is made of four thick clustered shafts with moulded capitals and bases, and is raised on a square lower base that has a warrior (?) lying on it, and a large dragon that appears about to devour it.
