***NEEDS SOLHAUG'S PICS*** Illustrated with a drawing in Ruprich-Robert (1884-1889). Listed and illustrated in Solhaug (2001) asa baptismal font made of Gotland limestone ca. 1200-1225 and imported into Norway; it may have been made by the Anonymous Calcarius workshop and somewhat resembles the design of the font at Gistad (Östergötland, Sweden) [cf. BSI entry]. Mentioned in Gravgaver [https://www.gravgaver.no/gotland-dopefonter.htm] [accessed 2 October 2022] as one of twelve medieval fonts imported from Gotland into Norway: "Borre (av kummen er kun fragmenter bevart), Eidanger (kun fot), Fon (nederste del av kummen), Hidra (skaft og fot), Holmedal (skaft og fot), Hvaler, Nøtterøy (kun underdel), Ramnes (skaft og fot, fire hoder skyter ut fra vulsten), Sannidal, Sæbø, Tanum, Våle." Listed in Drake (2002) as a baptismal font from the Calcarius workshop ornamented with spiral tendril. Baptismal font consisting of a round basin with an underbowl chamfer raised on a base that is round at the top and lower down branches into four wide columnar legs; the basin sides are framed with two rope mouldings between which is a broad acanthus (?) vine with curling roundels; the underbowl chamfer has sets of quadrupeds on a scallop-pattern background; the legs of the base appear to have foliage motifs, and the sides linking the legs have round archaes; the lower base appears to be a conglomerate or concrete of quatrefoil shape. The font is said to be made of Gotland sandstone and may be an import from that island. Noted and illustrated in Norske Kirker [https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/vestfold/tanum-kirke/] [accessed 6 October 2022]: "Døpefonten fra rundt 1250 er av sandstein fra Gotland. Døpefonten har rankemotiver samt dyrefigurer på en bakgrunn av skjellaktige ornamenter. På veggen bak døpefonten henger en kopi (eller etterligning) av Lucas Cranach-bildet i Larvik kirke, som viser Jesus som velsigner barna."
