Described in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. III: 22) as a late-17th century sandstone baptismal font. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with putto faces and garlands, part of them painted; the round baluster-shaped pedestal base is also decorated with garlands, and additional floral motifs, some of them painted. It stands on a square plinth of much older date. [NB: the plinth of the earlier font has survived - cf. Index entry for Stenkumla No. 1]
