The medieval font here is described and illustrated in Fischer's entry for this church in Sveriges kyrkor (1922) where he points out its similarity to English models, and he gives cognate fonts in the area [="Dopfunt av sandsten (fig. 133). Cylindrisk skål, vilande på en DoPFUNT. fotplatta med skråkant och med på fyra ställen anbragta tre sammanshillda små rundstavar. På ett ställe har den mellersta av dessa en urholkning (saltkar?). -Dopfunten, vars typ återgår på engelska förebilder, är en förenkling av dessa och salmar alldeles den rika ornering, som utmärker dem. --Av denna typ åro ett flertal funtar i Västergötland kända. Enkla finnas i Råda (Kållands hd.) och Ova (Kinnefjärdings hd.); ornerade i Götened (Kinne hd.) och Böja (Vadsbo hd.), m. fl. ---Engelska funtar av denna typ dateras till 1000-.eller 1100-talen1 . -Funten i Gösslunda är med all sannolikhet huggen i Västergötland vid 1100-talets början. H: 67 cm. Diam. 74 cm." Noted in Hallbäck (1971) as a baptismal font attributed to the Johannes workshop. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920520F2]; the SHM entry refers to Hallbäck's attribution to Johannes but describes this font as made of sandstone in the 13th century by a provincial hand. A 1928 B&W photograph by Ärland Noréen shows a modern font in use inside the renovated church; it shows near the pulpit.
