Click to view
Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. II: 19, 38): cylindrical mounted limestone font dated to ca. 1250; the basin sides have round arch-heads of the horseshoe variety. The round stem of the base is conical with slightly collapsed sides splaying at the lower base and plinth, looking like the base of a standard chess piece; it has a roll moulding atop. The font itself appears to have no drain, but there is a hole in the lower base side, and a round depression in the plinth that may have belonged to an earlier font here. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910828F2] as a baptismal font of the 'ciborietyp' made of limestone in the mid-13th century, but the arcade of ten arches is not common in this type of font. No cover present.
