Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) where the figures are identified as: "1. Biskop med kräkla.- 2.Skäggig man med stav (?).- 3.Man med orm och med ettl ejon gapande över hjässan. - 4.Skägglös man." Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920709F1] as a baptismal font of sandstone made by master Arcadius in the late-12th century; the figures are similarly identified. Baptismal font made of sandstone in the 12th century, consisting of a round basin decorated with four human figures at 90-degree angles, and a rope moulding at each end; chamfered underbowl; squat round-to-square base. ["Dopfunten i sandsten är från 1100-talet. Den tillhör en grupp östgötska dopfuntar gjorda av den så kallade mäster Arkadius. Namnet syftar på den arkad som löper runt funten. Fyra figurer pryder funten varav en biskop med kräkla, en människa som håller på att slukas av ett lejon vilket troligen symboliserar trons utsatthet, en person med liljestav och en svårförklarad bild. Foten är nedtill fyrsidig och upptill rund. Ett avloppshål finns för att vattnet ska kunna rinna ut." -- source: www.minkyrka.nu/Ram/Ekeby_kyrka.htm [accessed 27 March 2013]]
