No entry found in the SHM database. Listed in Drake (2002: 183) as a baptismal font of the Bestiarius workshop (attributed to Group 4, but not verified). The entry for this church in Kyrkokartan.se [www.kyrkokartan.se/055912/images/55912_8592277] [accessed 26 May 2020] shows two font items: a modern font in use and the battered and eroded base of an earlier, probably medieval font; the roughly round-to-square fragment suggests that there were perhaps figures at the angles; there is a roll moulding still clearly discernible on its middle; the top shows a large drain hole that would have been continued from the disappeared basin; the fragment is now [ca. 2010?] located in the 'vapenhuset'.
