Noted in O. Reutersvärd's Uppsvenska nodfuntar Ars Suetica 7 (1963: 363ff). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930617F2] as a 15th century baptismal font of the "nodgruppen" made of (Uppland?) limestone. Round basin with slightly splaying sides and a round underbowl; the sides have a series (9) of encircled rosettes framed in a running vine below; the underbowl is plain; the middle volume is an exaggerated version of the usually more restrained centre ring, in this case very large and carved as a crude interlace; the base proper is round, the stem conical and with a [part of?] moulding atop. Crude version of an awkward font design seen also at Stora Tuna, etc. No cover present.
