Illustrated in Hildebrand (1907: fig. 243). Baptismal font, probably Gothic, consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with a band of rosettes around the upper basin side, as well as a row of intersecting semicircles below the former, and a base with two volumes: the upper is square with trimmed top and bottom corners; one side is decorated with a huma figure with arms akimbo; another has a human head, another with a romboid pattern; the lower volume of the base is conical with a frame of roll mouldings at top (horizontal) and sides (vertical); on these vertical mouldings are incised human and animal forms. Several illustrations of the font, old and recent, are available at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Baptismal_font_in_Dannemora_kyrka [accessed 20 June 2025]
