Norre Nissum / Nørre Nissum

Described and illustrated in Nyborg (1998- : Bd. 2, hefte 8, p. 688-689; chalice-shaped Romanesque granite font of the type common in this area [cf. Index entry for Hedlum et al.]; the basin is hemispheric with a square-cut rim and a roll-moulding under it; the basin is plain except for a ribbed pattern at the bottom of the underbowl; the base has an upper ring and four vertical mouldings at the corners, which make its lower base square. This font has one extra volume in the lower base, a plain square right at the bottom, which adds the extra height to the font.
