Listed in Fåhraeus (1974: 98) as a baptismal font with a cylindrical pedestal base; the lower base piece splays widely and is ornamented with a long narrow zigzag pattern that ends in rounded tips on the outside; the end of the stem of the base has a rope motif at the junction with the lower base. Noted and illustrated in Hallbäck (1959) as a baptismal font made of soapstone ca. 1200 by the Norwegian so-called Tunemästaren and is considered to be Dalsland's perhaps most elaborate and beautiful baptismal font; damaged and repaired. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930714F7] as a monolithic baptismal font of the Dalslandsgruppen made of soapstone in the later half of the 12th century; the SHM entry notes the variations in the Viking-style decoration, how the lower braid morphs into different shapes, including one spot where it becomes a dragon [cf. ImagesArea]; the SHM entry mentions red paint below the upper rim. No cover present.
