Baptismal font made of wood; it consists of an hexagonal (?) basin decorated with cherub heads at the angles, with massive dollops of meringue-like scroll work on both the font and the cover; there is a running inscription in Sweddish below the upper rim. The font was made in 1697 in Gothenburg by Nils Pärsson; donated to the church by councilors David Amija and Sebastian Tham of Gothenburg. The font supports a baptismal dish of brass, probably of about the same year as the wooden font itself, 1697.
