Listed in Dahlberg (1998: 115) as a baptismal font of the "Skalundagruppen" type [cf. Index entry for Skalunda]. No entry found for this font in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld. The entry for this church in Kringla [www.kringla.nu/kringla/objekt?referens=raa/bbr/21400000443487] [accessed 7 October 2020] lists and displays a full font in the chancel, and a fragment of a font in the porch [vapenhus] of this church; the entries in the list read: "Specifika inventarier - dopfunt 1150-01-01 e.Kr. - 1250-12-31", supposedly for the fragment, and "Specifika inventarier - dopfunt 1928-01-01 - 1928-12-31 av F Thorenberg" which is described as completed by F Thorenberg in 1928. For clarification... the basin of the font in the chancel is Thorenberg's replica of the medieval basin in the porch; the base is supposed to be medieval as well.
