INFORMATION

FontID: 06401SLA
Church/Chapel: Slädene kyrka
Church Location: Slädene Gustavsgården 4, 534 90 Vara, Sweden
Country Name: Sweden
Location: Västergötland, Västra Götalands län
Directions to Site: Located off (W) local road O2586, in the municipality and 18-20 km NW of Vara
Ecclesiastic Region: Skara stift
Historical Region: Viste härad, Skaraborgs län
Font Location in Church: Inside the new church, by the pulpit steps [reported In the churchyard ca. 1985]
Date: ca. 1200?
Century and Period: 12th - 13th century, Romanesque
Church Notes: The old wooden church was demolished in the 1830s [1848?]; new church also wooden built 1924 [new church orientation N-S, non-canonical]
Noted in Hallbäck (1971). A much damaged medieval baptismal font is reported in Lagerlöf (1985: fig. 140 on p. 117) abandoned in the churchyard of the former church at Slädene; the old wooden church was demolished in the 1830s [1848?]. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920616F5] as a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200 by a regional hand; the whole font is badly eroded and the upper half of the basin is missing, brtoken off. No cover present. The font consists of a hemispheric basin ornamented with deep-relief carving, the details now hardly discernible but the SNM identifies a lion in one of the arches, a pair of facing lions in another; the centre ring atop the base block shows signs of having been patterned, probably with rope or braid motif; the square lower part was also decorated but it is now too eroded to get any sense of the decorative motifs.
