Click to view
Baptismal font made from pine wood, said to be medieval (?), but the paint on it is believed to be from the 17th century; there is a Baptism of Christ in the Jordan scene painted on the side facing west now; above the scene is an inscription [text not available]; the rest of the font font has a geometric pattern painted in bright colours. The font is made of a single block of pine wood (?), carved in three distinct polygonal volumes (basin, stem and lower base). The font serves as the base for a metal baptismal wish that holds the holy water. [NB: although there are local claims of an early stavekirke in this place, it is very unlikely the present wooden font is from that period; the design and general workmanship point to a much later date in the medieval, or even late-medieval period].
