Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [http://medeltidbild.historiska.se/medeltidbild/visa/foremal.asp?objektid= 930626F1] [accessed 11 January 2015] as a limestone font of the "musselcuppstyp" from the second half of the 13th century. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a ribbed pattern on the basin sides and underbowl; raised on a round pedestal base with a roll moulding atop, splaying towards the bottom. The basin is very worn; not so the two blocks of the base; is it a later replacement? No cover present.
