Click to view
The medieval baptismal font from the old church that was destroyed by fire in 1876 is noted in Hallbäck (1963). Described and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [920901F7] as a font made of soapstone dated ca. 1200, part of the 'Thorkillusgruppen' type. The font in the church is modern.
On-site visit notes [storage unit, Göteborgs stadsmuseum]: the font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin with a chamfered underbowl, raised on a round moulded base; the sides of the basin are decorated with a curling acanthus vine forming large circles; the underbowl has a similar decoration and ends in a pronunced roll moulding; the cylindrical stem has a roll moulding in its middle; the round lower base has a moulding decorated with foliate motifs. The font is damaged and has been repair with cement or plaster patches. The Göteborgs stadsmuseum archive has it as attributed to "Stenhuggaren Thorbillus' [Thorkillus?] skola" and dated to the firsdt half of the 12th century.
