Noted in Reutersvärd (1967). Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920728F3] as a "musselcuppstyp" baptismal font made of limestone ca. 1300. Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) as a baptismal font made of limestone, the basin from Gotland limestone, the base from "östgötsk ortocerkalksten". [NB: the cylindrical base decorated with mouldings seems to break with the tradition of the splaying conical type usually fitted to the "musselcuppstyp" basins; perhaps it is a replacement of the original]. There is a later font dated 1658 in this church.
