Robin Gullbrandsson's report 'Barkeryds kyrka: Kulturhistorisk karakterisering och bedömning' (Jönköpings läns museum, Byggnadsvårdsrapport 2007:2) [https://docplayer.se/151944036-Barkeryds-kyrka-kulturhistorisk-karakterisering-och-bedomning-barkeryds-socken-i-nassjo-kommun-jonkopings-lan-vaxjo-stift.html] [accessed 8 September 2021] notes: "Av äldre inventarier i kyrkorummet märks främst den romanska sandstensdopfunten i koret. Den är av Njudungstyp med fabeldjur i relief och skulptur. Cuppan med sin rundbågsar-kad är starkt fragmentarisk och till större delen en rekonstruktion i konststen från 1952." Baptismal font of the 'Njudungstyp' made of sandstone; the present font is a 1952 re-construction of the remaing fragment of the basin mounted on the original base; the fragment of the basin is about one third of the original cylindrical vessel; it is decorated with an arcade of round arches with animals in the arches, of which only one whole and two fragments remain now; the arcade itself is made of beaded-tape; the pedestal base is of the type that has a moulding atop a shelf-like volume with animal heads or protomes set at 90-degree angles; the top surfaces of the shelf itself decorated with foliage; the volume below has a broad rope moulding decorated with animal heads at 90-degree angles, now much damaged; below the moulding is a broken row of saw-tooh or zigzag pattern. No cover present. . På södra långsidan hänger två huvudbaner Of the older furnishings in the church room, the Romanesque sandstone baptismal font in the chancel is most noticeable.It is of the Njudung type with fabulous animals in relief and sculpture. The cup with its round arch arcade is strongly fragmentary and for the most part a reconstruction in artificial stone.
