Listed in Mackeprang (1941: 258). Described and illustrated in Danmarks kirker: Århus amt (1968- , Bd. 9, hft. 50: 4845, 4862, fig. 11 on p. 4837 and fig. 23 on p. 4847): "a Romanesque font belonging to the group of east Jutland lion fonts of the so-called Horsens type" [="Horsenstype"]; the basin is hemispheric with low-relief [3-5 mm] lions and foliage motif; pronounced plain centre ring and conical base ornamented with equally shallow foliage motif, giving the font a chalice-like look; also listed in the DK entry is an engraved south-German mid-16th century brass baptismal dish. Noted and illustrated in Søren Kaspersen's Jyske fonte med modstillede løver.[1] Et præliminært studie, 17.8.2016 klo 23.15 | Tieteelliset artikkelit | TAHITI 04/2016 [https://tahiti.journal.fi/article/view/85640/44590] [accessed 16 November 2023] as a baptismal font on which basin are two facing lions above a foliage pattern on the base; a lion has a leg out of the gap like the corresponding lion on the Smidstrup font, while a man's head shoots out of the lion's mouth as on the font in Sønderbæk, perhaps symbolsing the immersion and exit from the baptismal waters of the font ["På fonten i Hansted kirke – helt vest på i Thy – ses som eneste udsmykning på kummen to modstillede løver over en krans af store bægerblade nederst på skålen. Løven heraldisk tv. har et ben ud af gabet ligesom den tilsvarende løve på Smidstrup-fonten, mens et mandshoved skyder ud af munden på løven heraldisk th. Det sidstnævnte træk kendes også fra fonten i Sønderbæk kirke, hvor et mandshoved viser sig i den ene dobbeltløves åbne gab.[72] Herigennem performes sikkert igen både nedsænkningen i døbefonten som en opslugning og den efterfølgende ’opstandelse’ som en udspyen. De to løver på Hansted–fonten er meget ens karakteriseret, begge har bl.a. en løftet hale, der går mellem benene og ender i en stor palmet, hvilket taler mod, at en dæmonisk fortæring skulle være stillet over for en frelsende udspyen"].
