Baptismal font originally from the parish church at Pöytyä, now [12 August 2012] at the National Museum, Helsinki. The font is made from a single block of wood; it has a pronounced upper rim decorated with a rope moulding, and a centre ring braided all around; the splaying circular base is plain. The museum label reports its relocation inside the church in the 17th century, and its having been replaced by a smaller moveable font at the time; it is described as "late medieval type" on the label.
