Noted by Fischer & Roland in Sveriges kyrkor (1914). In Hallbäck (1971). Described and illustrated in Dahlberg (1998: 112ff) as a limestone medieval baptismal font; the font consists of two parts: a cylindrical basin with palm and dates (?) motif ornamentation all around its sides between two rope mouldings; plain rounded underbowl and short stem, all of one piece; the base is a round pedestal with upper and lower mouldings, otherwise plain. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920518F3] as a Skaragruppen baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 12th century decorated with fifteen "kvastpalmetter" around the basin; the SHM entry (ibid.) notes that some of carving detail has been repaired in cement and coloured grey.
