Click to view
Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930614F2] as a baptismal font of the "mellansvensk verkstad" made of sandstone ca. 1200. The stone of the roughly hemispherical basin has suffered tremendous erosion from the elements and developed a streaked surface akin to that of eroded wood; the round-to-square base, decorated with a thick roll moulding arop, is also very worn. No cover present.
