Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Blekinge (1926-1965, Bd. III, hft. 3: 310 and fig. 250 on p. 311) as the former base of a 12th-13th century baptismal font; it is ornamented with a sofhisticated lilly cluster with tiny cross motifs; the 1960 photograph in this source shows the base on the Charpentiers tomb in the new churchyard. [NB: the font in use at this church is late-19th century and is therefore not listed in this Index; a fragment of the basin of a 12th-13th century font from this church is listed in this Index as Sölvesborg No. 2]
