Baptismal font made by Peter van Egen in 1630 [van Egen made also the present Burgsvik sandstone retable of the church]. On-site notes: the font consists of a shallow round basin raised on a baluster or bulbous vase-like base, the sides decorated with four cherubs at 90-degree angles, and patch-pattern all around. [cf. Index entry for Hablingbo No. 1 for the remaining base of the medieval font here].
