Illustrated in Hildebrand (1907) [NB: Hildebrand uses the spelling "Asmundstorp"]. In Tynell (1913). In Ugglas (1943). Described and illustrated in Källström and Askmark (1948): bucket-shaped metal font of the late 14th century; the surface of the basin is plain except for two thin mouldings, top and bottom, but it has two figures -they look like Apostles or Church Fathers- welded to it at 180 degrees; the basin is raised on the shoulders of three kneeling angles holdings objects (one of the angels is missing its hands; another holds a chalice; the third one is not fully visible in either of our the sources). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900629F1] as a baptismal font made of bronze in the 15th century, a north-German work; the SHM entry reports the winds of the angels broken and reconstructed in sheet metal, and that the apostles have lost their symbols/attributes. [NB: the Landskrona kommun website [www.tourism.lanskrona.se] gives the material of the font as bronze and the manufacture as northern German]
