Described by H. Cornell and A. Rappe in Sveriges kyrkor: Medelpad (Bd. I, 1939: hft. 2: 311, 317) as the surviving fragment from the basin of an early baptismal font [the fragment is reported in this source as having been moved to the museum at Härnösand]. Ola George's Arkeologisk undersökning i västra delen av långhuset i Tuna Kyrka [Rapport 2005:8] (Läns Museet Västernorrland, 2005) [http://media.murberget.se/rapport/data/7/fd6d541b-577f-4f03-a218-a16d85d66c5d.pdf] [accessed 5 October 2020] informs: "Cornell beskrev de inventarier som fanns eller hade funnits i kyrkan. Här tas de medeltida upp: I kyrkan finns fragment av en dopfunt, höjd 60 cm, diameter 80 cm, - endast nedre delen av kupan samt ett stycke av foten äro bevarade. Den förras undersida prydes av från mitten utgående strålar i relief, den senare är fyrpassformig. Dopfuntslock, yttre diameter 71 cm, inre 57 cm och höjd 21 cm tillverkad av massiv furu i form av en mycket platt kon. Längs kanten löper en bård, bestående av en romansk akantusslinga. 1200-talet. Dopfuntslocket från 1200- talet. Foto Ola George." A 1959 B&W photograph by Norrlandsbild, Fotosamlingen, Sundsvalls museum [https://digitaltmuseum.se/021015445991/fornfynd-i-tuna-kyrka-delar-av-en-dopfunt] [accessed 5 October 2020] shows the remains of the medieval font: a large rounded fragment of the underbowl, a quatrefoiled-shaoed pedestal base and a low-conical wooden font cover decorated with a band of acanthus motif all around; as indicated in Cornell, Rappe and in George [cf. supra] the outer side of the underbowl has some sort of arris or rib pattern radiating from the lower centre; it could be surmised that the basin itself was also quatrefoiled in shape, were it not for the fact that the old cover is round, and it would have been made to fit onto a round rim [cf. ImagesArea]. The present baptismal font in use in this church is modern, located at the east end, north side, by the pulpit.
