Round cauldron-like stone vessel thought to have been a baptismal font. It appears in the records of the Göteborgs stadsmuseum with ref. G.M. 161, but we have not been able to confirm whether or not the object is still in the Museum. Not mentioned in 'Medeltidens bildvärld'. The object is decorated with a band of saw-tooth around the upper rim, and a rope moulding around its belly. The present font in this church is octagonal with a square base; made of granite on 1907.
