Noted and illustrated in Blomqvist (1929) as a baptismal font of the 'Njudungsmästarens posthuma verkstad'. Inventoried and illustrated in Borg (2002), who puts them in "Njudungsgruppen Variant 8" class, and dated 1170-1220. Noted and illustrated in the SHM's Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 951014F3] as a "Njudungsgruppen" baptismal font made of sandstone in the late-12th century. Listed as a baptismal font of the Bestiarius workshop (Group 4) in Drake (2002: 183). The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin with a braid-patterned moulding at the upper rim and a saw-tooth band at the lower end, framing inside an arcade of six beaded-tape arches around the sides; the arches are populated with an Agnus Dei, lions, dragons and two-headed dragons; more geometric motifs/patterns on the underbowl chamfer; the round base and square lower base and plinth appear modern. No font cover present.
