Source caption: "Tuve kyrka [...] Dopfunt, 1200-talet. Tryck efter teckning." [NB: probably the same as Image Fileno. 0210318022] -- the caption of the original gived the measurements: "2.3 fot" in height, and "2 fot" in diameter of the basin -- since the illustration is probably from ca. 1878, the Swedish foot would be equal to 29.69 cm at the time, thereby giving us 68.287 cm in height and 59.38 in diameter of the basin

the height measurements for the basin and base are given on the illustration original as 19 and 14 "tums" respectively -- the Swedish 'tum' corresponded to 2.474 cm before 1863 and to 2.96 cm after the 1863 change; since we have other measurements that give the approximate height of the font as 80 cm, it probably means this illustration was from the earlier period, i.e., pre-1863

Country Name: Sweden

Ecclesiastic Region: Göteborgs stift
Historical Region: Östra Hisings härad
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, NE corner, by the pulpit
Date: ca. 1200?
Century and Period: 12th century (early?), Romanesque
Church Notes: original church probably late-12thC; modified 1700 and 1745; major restoration in 1950s
Font Notes:
Noted and illustrated in Montelius & Brusewitz (1878) as a cauldron-shaped basin decorated with a rim moulding that has large foliage motifs back and front; at the time it was raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a square lower base, but the lower part of the font is said to have been was restored with new stone in 1959. The type of stone of the basin varies according to the sources: grey-black gneiss, amphibolite, granite or soapstone, with SGU pronouncing on amphibolite. Noted in Hallbäck (1963). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930708F2] as a baptismal font made of soapstone ca. 1200. The roughly hemispherical basin has a moulding at the upper rim, and three large leaves or palmettes at 120-degree angles below; the pedestal base is round, with a large roll moulding atop; the lower base or plinth is circular and plain [NB: some illustrations of this font show the lower base as square [ImageFileNo. 0210318026 / 1210318025], others as circular [ImageFileNo. 0210318026 / 1210318029] we have no information on when the lower base was changed or modified]. No cover present. The baptismal dish used on the font is said to be 17th-century. [NB: we have no information, other than a photograph in the ImageArea of this record, on a second font that appears next to the medieval font in that pre-1959(?) photograph -- it is possible that the later font, with a hexagonal-shaped basin, may have been introduced and used at a time when the medieval font was not in use, as was often the case in Sweden at the time [17th century?] -- the actual photograph [ImageFileNo. 0210318020] shows the old font standing beneath the pulpit at the time of the church renovation [1959?] and the pulpit itself supported on temporary wood supports; was it because the font had been used to serve as base of the pulpit, as, again, was a not uncommon case in Swdish churches at one point?].
