Baptismal font of the Paradise type, probably made on Gotland; it consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a flat moulding at the upper rim, a ribbed pattern on the sides and underbowl; raised on a conical pedestal base with a roll moulding at the top, and two others at the lower base, one of which has leaves at 90-degree angles. There is no proper cover or baptismal dish, but it appears to have a sheet of glass or metal on top. It shows some damage and repairs.
